Gillmore Cafe Choices!

Please take some time today to research your historical journalist. Remember to save the URL's to your sources!

Remember your goal is to create a PowerPoint presentation to aide in your presentation. Please limit the number of words on a slide...few to none! Use pictures, phrases, charts, graphs. This is not something your viewers are to sit and read; it's purpose is to simply aide in our understanding of your journalist.

Please check with your "people" to see if they have completed your interview questions. Goal: to create a hard-copy newspaper next week!

Ready to be published authors?

Please leave me a comment with any questions or concerns.

You are great! Thanks!
