Thurs Aug 30: The Most Important Person in the World part one


Greetings, Earthlings!.... Let's do something important

A) Pick out some public figure. Could be someone still alive, could be someone from the past. Could be an actual person, could be a fictional character from a movie or a book. Just make sure it is not anyone that would be considered inappropriate for school. So yes, serial killers don't make the list, just as an example.

B) Do a Google search on this person. Find eleven good websites about this person. Here's how I define a "good website"
  • Its NOT just a link to a picture of this person. (WE'll get to that, I promise)

  • Its a website in English (your brilliant instructor reads many computer languages, but only one human language)

  • Its a website that you can actually read and understand. Don't pick something that makes you sound like you ate the dictionary for lunch

  • THE MATERIAL MUST BE 100% SCHOOL APPROPRIATE
  • It cannot just be different parts of the SAME website

C) Set up a category on your account at PortaPortal. Name the category after the person you chose, then add all eleven of the websites, COMPLETE WITH A DESCRIPTION, to this category

Pretty simple, eh?
Mr. L
