Research the assigned topic. Take notes about it, and create a Power Point presentation that will be given to the class. The Power Point should not be less than 3 slides of information and no more than 4 slides of information plus a slide for the Bibliography.

The Bibliography slide should be completed using one of the online bibliography sites linked on my blog. It should have its own slide page (only one).

Remember, you may also use the Cobb Virtual Library and may get as good or better information through those sources! Immigration
