In recognition of Famous Female Month, students in Class 4-309 collaborated with partners to complete a research paper on a famous female / hero of their choice. With the assistance of our librarian, many non-fiction books were provided for students to conduct their research. Furthermore, students used technology in our classroom, library, and at home to gain more knowledge. They understood that all information must be in their own words, or use quotations if taken from a source.

The students followed the format provided below to organize their information:

__ **I. Introduction ** __ a.) Name of the person

b.) Birth place and date c.) Family history

__ **II. Childhood ** __

__ **III. Education ** __

__ **IV. Conclusion ** __ a.) How did this person change our world? b.) Can we see the affect of these changes today?

In addition to a research paper, students presented their work to the class, which included answering our questions. Some students even designed Power Point Presentations! The students clearly see the reasons as to how each well-known female significantly contributed to our country; thus making history.
