Directions and Example for Cultural Literacy Activity # 11 – Biographies- Historical Context

We are still doing the same document for each team this week. You will be asked to… 1. Search for your wax museum figure's time period and country to gather information for his or her historical setting and facts. 2. Corroborate the information by finding at least one additional webpage to support your data. 3. Document your sources. At least write down the URLs for now. 4. Use at least one quote from a source. 5. Fill in your information page on your figure. 6. Create a topic sentence about your person’s historical context. Include your opinion drawn from your research. 7. Write your data or facts as supporting details about the paragraph about what was going on in the world during your figure's life. 8. Add a concluding sentence tying back into your introduction opinion about your character's historical time.

Example paragraph to come!
