• Product: Website with Group (see instructions & lists of events/people here)
• I've created a class website & shared it with you

• 2nd Block
• 3rd Block
• In your group, split up the 10 events (2 each person)
• Research the event with:
• Your textbook
• At least one website
• Edit each of the event websites in your groups portion of the webpage
• In your group, take one of the 5 assigned historical figures
• Research about that person
• After reading each event on your website, make comment(s)  as if you were that person, using specifics from the reading to back up "your" comment/opinion 

We will work on this tomorrow too.... your goal should be to have your website completed for both of your events so you are not holding your group member's grade hostage...
