About the project
This is a research project. This is the section where you will present the information that you found on your topic, in this case a person you read about both from your written biography/autobiography and your interview. What have you learned about heroism and its definition? Do we use the word too lightly? What new information did you gain about your person? What did you find out that was surprising or unusual? Has your view of the person changed? This is still written in third person, though; not first person.
Present your conclusions. Explain whether you think the person that you chose to investigate qualifies as a hero? (It is okay to say "no"). You may write in first person in this section, but be sure that you write about the person, not about yourself.
What about length? It is sort of up to you, but you can't do this in three paragraphs. On the other hand, I don't want to read more than five pages. You are not recording the person's entire life--make it concise and interesting. Cover the topic. It is a test grade using MLA format for everything. You will lose points for mechanical errors. You will receive a rubric a few days before the project is due.
Be sure to document ALL of your informationl
1. It must be internally cited (parenthetical documentation.) OWL Purdue is a great reference.
2. It must contain a Works Cited.
3. You must have three sources--your book and two other sources.
4. Cite your interview. If you have problems with the interview, see me.
