Create a powerpoint answering questions on handout. Use media, music, pictures, commentary or a narrator, etc. Create your project with a timeline in mind. Gather information from the beginning of the summer until mid-August. Cite your sources (Bibliography or Cited Source page) on the last slide.
Video tape acted out subject, news videos, personal polling--ask people's opinions, pictures, etc. to show a summer-long progression on the topic.. This needs to be five minutes in length. Use movie maker or another program to edit your material. Cite the sources where you got your information, and make sure to either quote the person that wrote it or restate their answers. Always give credit where credit is due. You can have the sources scrolling at the bottom of the screen, at the end of the documentary. Make sure the audience knows your take on the subject and your tone.
Type or write a daily blog or journal of the day's or week's events on your topic. Or choose a group of friends to have a talk show or news report on your subject. One person is the host and the others are guests. Make sure you have reliable information to use. Each person speaks on the subject from their belief and can back it up. The host may ask the questions, and the guests will answer them. Cite the sources in a journal or scrolling at the end of the video where you got the information to answer the questions.
