Mrs. Burlingame's 10th Grade

Ten (20th Century) Events that Changed the World: http://www.biographyonline.net/events/changed-world.html


100 People Who Changed the World, compiled by : http://www.biographyonline.net/people/people-who-changed-world.html

The 100 Greatest Heroes, from the book by the same name, by H. Paul Jeffers: http://www.adherents.com/people/100_heroes.html

Can one person change the world? We considered this question in our Freshman Inquiry class at Portland State University. At this site, you will find the stories of people who have changed the world so dramatically that they have ended up in the history books. They come from different places, times, and backgrounds. Read about them, and think: What do each of their life stories teach us about changing the world?

Recommended resources for your Photo Story project on infectious mononucleosis:

1.  Photo Story 3 is a free Microsoft program: you could download it at home to work on this project or to do other "Show-and-Tell" projects for yourself. Check it out at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx

2. Clip art and possibly photographs. You need to use images that are royalty-free (so you don't have to pay to use them) and you need to cite them so you give proper credit to the people who own them.
http://search.creativecommons.org/  Best access to images for projects
http://copyrightfriendly.wikispaces.com/  Extensive--but sometimes confusing--list of copyright friendly sites for music, pictures, quotes, etc.
       Best-of-the-best:

3. Music and sound effects: to incorporate background music into your class productions (this one and any others), we'd like to suggest that you use these online sources, rather than using commercial cds for which you don't have re-use licenses:
