Week of October 24, Research for The Color of Water

Hi everyone,

This week we are using our computer time to continue doing our research for The Color of Water by James Mc Bride.

Please share a computer with the people on your research team.

Here are the group topics:

·      The KKK

·      Sitting Shiva

·      Reciting the Kaddish and death rituals in Judaism

·      Gospel music and the Black Baptist church

·      Kosher dietary laws

·      The Black Panthers and the Black Power Movement

·      The Harlem Renaissance

·      Malcolm X

Use this time to create the quiz for your topic, to be given after your presentation.

Remember, you need to have:

1. Two research logs from each student in the group attached to a copy of the printed articles.
2. A group poster that uses images and text written by you (paraphrase)
3. A quiz for the other students to take when you have finished your presentation, so that you can see if they really understood the main ideas of your topic. 

We will be presenting on Monday October 29, and it counts as a test!

Be prepared and please do your best!!
