The Apollo program was researched by some students as a part of the textbook examination. A few students chose Neil Armstrong or other astronauts as their "Great American" for the comparative biography assignment, as well. This is one of the lunar models build for the Apollo program, now on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC.
Hi everyone,

AGENDA 9/26/18:
News Brief - Tristan
Comparative Biography
Work Time
Ryan was selected to do the next news brief.
It is unlikely you watched the BBC World News update, but here's the link to see the latest one minute update, at any time of day (it will probably be different from what we watched in class):
Comparative Biography: The last part of the "notable Americans" worksheet asked for the name of someone you consider to be a "Great American" - students were allowed to define that however they wanted, however, the person had to be someone that was 1) real, and 2) multiple biographies existed of. With this person in mind, this is the assignment that I introduced last class (also posted in Google Classroom):
We talked about the importance of finding good sources for this (Wikipedia is allowed for this assignment!) as well as how to cite your sources using EasyBib.com or another generator.
This assignment should end up being about 2-3 pages in length, as you look in depth at the biographies you find on your Great American.
Work Time: The rest of class was devoted to work time on the comparative biography assignment,. Please email me or comment with any questions, as this assignment will be due at the start of class on Friday!
Thanks, everyone - see you next class!
