Process

The classroom will be divided into groups of three students. You will be in one of these groups. There will be prizes for first second and third place. The information that I will like to see from you is information that answers the following questions: who, what, when, where, how and why. (Per example, who was George Washington? What did he do that was so important for the American people and to the development of democracy in America? When did he do it? Where did he do it? How did he do it? And why did he do it) you and the members of your group need to select the information that you considerer to be more significant about these extraordinary men. 1st prize: most complete information presented. 2nd: most organized information. 3rd: peers would vote based on the clarity, fluency of the information presented. “There will be bonus points for those who present new words and their definitions.”
To find out about these American Revolutionary heroes, access the following websites. Write one paragraph about each one of them. (Do not write information
about more than one hero in one paragraph) Write your information in order. In other words, write first the events that took place first.
