Today we had blog discussion over our WW2 movie. We got assigned our new project.
In your groups, you will be assigned a topic relating to WWII. Your group will research the topic and create a Google Doc that has your completed notes. You will discuss your topic in class informally(no Powerpoint needed). Once your Google Doc is completed, share it with everyone in the class(including me) so they have your notes for test purposes.
You will be graded on the following(50 points):
1. Content of your individual discussion(30)
2. Quality of your Google Doc(20)
We will have an individual test after these discussions.
