<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The project will include a four to six page research paper and a six to eight minute presentation on your paper. You will be allowed to work with a partner of your choosing if you wish. You and your partner will be researching the same person or topic from the 1920's and then taking all the information and TYPING your own papers. The information in your papers should be the same, but in your own words. You must have four sources of information and two of them must be from books (no encyclopedias). The other sources can be from the Internet, magazines, newspapers, etc.. You must double-space your paper and not use fonts larger than twelve. You must have normal margins. From information in your papers, you and your partner will do a six to eight minute presentation in front of the class. You and your partner must talk an equal amount of time. An Audio/Visual aid is a must. You need to have pictures, movie clips, CD's, costumes, etc. to show to the class. This will enhance your presentation greatly and prepare you for future endeavors.
