This is the last week for you to collect your data on women's history. Hopefully you have learned a lot about the specific woman you chose. You have a choice of ways to present your findings:
1. create a podcast script - interview your famous woman
2. movie - create a movie about her
3. comic book - create a comic book about her
4. Multimedia (using more than one media to present your findings)
Be prepared with your TYPED responses to the questions I assigned. Email them to yourself so you can access the info in class; or bring it on a flash drive!
