 * The Decades Project!!**

You and your group have decided on a decade to study. You will be required to create a presentation using [|Slide Rocket] or a poster using [|Glogster]. For the decade you have chosen you need to include the following information: what was happening Politically, Socially, Economically, if there was anything going on with the military, and what was going on Intellectually. In other words include information about presidents and their policies, information about books, movies, music, art, and what types of past times people were engaged in during this time. For economics you can include a list of how much grocery items and fuel cost. If a war was occurring what were the causes and include information about the soldiers who served during this time.

Your group must create a presentation that includes music, graphics, and historical videos. If you are using Slide Rocket, your presentation needs to have a minimum of ten slides not including your title and reference slides. If your group chooses Glogster, your poster needs to have at least ten elements and you will need to turn in your reference page separately.

During this week, you will be able to do your research and do your storyboards. In a word processing program, copy and paste this storyboard template:
 * Timeline:**
 * Week One**:

Each box represents one slide or element. Describe in as much detail as possible what will be included for each slide. The more that is planned ahead of time, the easier it is to create the multimedia activity. Copy as many storyboard boxes as needed to plan the activity.

This week you will finish up your research and storyboards and create your presentations or posters. On Friday of this week and Monday the following week you and your groups will present to the class. Check out the rubrics your fellow classmates will be using to critique your presentation as well as the rubric I will be using as your teacher. As a part of your presentation, make sure you include who researched what and who was responsible for what elements or topic for your group's presentation.
