Who was Adolf Hitler?

How was he important in World War II/Holocaust?

As we go through the steps together, write down the steps on the back of your purple paper.

Make yourself a checklist to keep track of your progress along the way.

Add suggestions to the back as we go.

What do I already know?

What do I need to learn?

On a piece of paper, create the brainstorming graphic organizer.

For 1 minute, fill in the left side.

Turn to Library for help - “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one" -Neil Gaiman › Books (Destiny system)› Encyclopedias › Magazines/Newspaper (Power Library)› Internet (search engines)

Use a variety of search terms › Hitler› Hitler+World War II› Hitler+Holocaust› Hitler+family› Hitler+biography

Use quotation marks. Using quotes around a set of words will direct Google to search for those exact words, in that exact order

Add a minus sign. Adding a minus sign immediately before any word indicates that you don't want those words to appear in your search results. For example, "Saturn -cars" will give you information about the planet, not the automobile.

Look beyond the first page of results - most of them on the first page are sponsored =$$.

Evaluate the website - appearance, authority, quality of information.

Determine if the research is good. Complete the works cited first - get it

out of the way! Begin adding information to your

notefact pages (don’t forget page numbers).

Be sure to follow the color coding and # each source.

Color Coding:

Blue – Book

Green - Encyclopedia

Yellow - Internet

Red - Power Library - Magazines, Newspaper

Create a citation for the research Mrs. Wagaman found.

Read the research and write down at least 4 notefacts.

When finished, we will share with the class.

Follow example in purple packet Cut up notefacts and begin to arrange

in the order you want

Take all of the notefacts given to your group. Put your desks together and begin sorting the facts and organizing using the outline in the purple packet to help you.

Once you are satisfied, glue down to folder.

Together we will write down the introduction and conclusion.

Introduction› Start off with a quote, anecdote, startling

statistic, etc.› Include thesis: A summary of what your

paper is about. Conclusion

› restate thesis› Include something insightful

A. One man, Adolf Hitler is responsible for the deaths of over 40 million people in the 20th century.

B. How can one man be so evil? Who was the real Hitler?

These questions, and how he played a role in World War II and the Holocaust, will be answered.

As you can see, Hitler was an evil man, responsible for so much pain, suffering and death. He is the mastermind behind the Final Solution and the failed attempt to take over the world.

The history of Germany and the 20th century will always have a black mark due to the work of this man.

Type outline Add your own words/setences in as you

go. Your voice should be dominant - the

research backs YOU up. Expand Intro and conclusion.

Review the paper, looking first at structure and content

Then proofread and double-check citations

Have more than just your eyes help with this step!

With a partner, read Mrs. Wagaman’s rough draft.

Check first for content and organization - make suggestions in red.

Proofread for grammar and punctuation in green.

Check citations and works cited for mistakes - use blue.

Fix errors Develop Title page Make sure Works Cited is finished Submit!

Create a visual - Powerpoint, Prezi, poster

Use old outline to create notecards Practice!
