1960s and 70s Speed Dating Mini-Project


You will be randomly assigned a figure from the 1960s or 1970s to research thoroughly by Tuesday, 5/27.

The goal is that you get to know that person well enough to answer any question your three minute date may ask you in class.

I'm posting three basic questions, but would like each of you to post your own in class today that will help your peers prepare for the big day.

You will be given a graphic organizer to complete on your speed dates on Tuesday.

Requirements:
A minimum two page historical biography with three works cited in MLA format is required.

Additional notes for speed dating are fine.

This will be a project grade so dress the part. (+10!)

Rubric:
Paper will be worth 50%, graphic organizer 30% and participation in the "dates" 25%

Interview Questions
1. What achievement in your life are you most proud of?
2. Identify one decision or experience from your life that you truly regret.
3. If you could meet anyone from history (fact or fiction), who would it be and why?
(Ms. Francis)

I can't decide whether to be Eleanor Roosevelt, Iris Morales of the Young Lord's Party, or Jo Robinson (feminist activist who disrupted a beauty pageant with an ink gun!)

Feedback?

Online dating sites are relatively affordable and quick to get a date. Your perfect match could very well be available in few minutes. Some sites are free to join and they have a lot of people signed up and in your locality.
