Product Prospectus

1. research question: What was life like in a concentration camp during the Holocaust?
2. description of form of final product: I plan to make a scrapbook of pictures along with the information I find in my research.
3. justification: I chose this particular form because my mom was putting summer pictures in an album when the idea just came to me. I also had to make a small version of an album for an english project last year as well and I enjoyed it.
4. definition: My project will be finished when I feel my research question is fully answered and my scrapbook is complete with lots of detail and creativity.
5. justification: My finished product will demonstrate mastery as long as I do my best, use my time wisely, and take my time to do my work neatly and creatively.
6. breakdown/flow: I plan to research my question in class, take good notes, save my sources to delicious.com, organize all of my research once I have it all, make my scrapbook, and prepare my project so it's perfect for Exhibition Night!
7. next action: my next action for the project after today is to come to class prepared to research my question and be able to take good notes.

  1. This is great, Shelley -- I'm super-excited about this. Just remember to keep your focus on what life was like in the concentration camps -- there's so much interesting stuff out there on the Holocaust that it will be really tempting to get sidetracked. Once in a while that's fine, but make sure that everything you do in your final product is targeted right at your research question.

    Looking great! Good job!
