Feature cast from the Past

Project Purpose:
To understand the difference between Cause/Effect Relationships and Correlations. To understand how and why major events in history are connected and intertwined (think yarn activity!). To research a major event from U.S. history in order to understand why it is significant and how it relates to other major events. To understand features of a feature article and podcast and to be able to create a feature article or podcast about your major event in history.

Project Requirements:
To present the 5Ws of your major event to the class. To write/peer edit/revise a feature article or podcast. To have at least three drafts in your Writing Portfolio. To present a polished version of your feature article or podcast on Media Night, as well as posting it online to our Team Featurecast from the Past web page (made by James).

Specific Concepts Learned:
Include at least two concepts. Be specific about the information/research/differences between correlations and cause/effect relationships that you learned. You should be able to explain the significance of your event (include specific facts) or give an example of a correlation and a cause/effect relationship between your event and another significant event.

Challenges:
At first with this project I had to figure out who i was going to interview, then when i finally did I couldn't anyone to play my person. [[ very stressful ]] I found making the script was fairly easy. Only because i listened to many podcasts.

you can listen to all of our pod casts and view all of our feature articles on this website.

Real-World Significance:
i found that the Real-World Significance was that we learned about our history, and we learned how to make a podcast/ feature article. There are things that i knew nothing about, that i finally got to learn.
