=**Student Workspace** = photo: futureatlas.com  **Making a Difference in Africa** projects will be developed in assigned student workspace on this wiki. Your workspace is designated by group number under each class period on the left hand navigation bar on this page. __**Please follow these steps as you work on your project this week. Complete steps # 1 - 7 by Friday!**__
 * 1) **Topic:** Obtain approval for your topic. (Class Groups)
 * 2) **Research country**: Complete the "African Country Research" chart. Be sure to answer the question (3-4 sentences) that follows the chart. In the paragraph that folllows you should not be using the statistics or numbers from the chart. I want an assessment //in your own words// as to what kind of shape the country is in and what type of aid or assistance you believe would benefit the country.
 * 3) **Research agency:** Using the provided 13 questions as a guideline, you should research the agency and take notes. Open the document [[file:Research guideline questions.doc]], then copy and paste the document questions onto your wiki student workspace for the 13 questions.
 * 4) **Bibliography:** Remember to keep bibliographic info as you research ([|EasyBib]). Create bibliography page (name it: your group # bibliography) and link the page from your workspace. If you have difficulty in remembering how to create a new page, ask a classmate!
 * 5) **Storyboard**: Create a storyboard (using //Insert Table// at top, 4 columns across, 13 rows down) on a separate page (name it: your group # storyboard) and link the page from your workspace. If you have difficulty in remembering how to create a new page or insert a table, ask a classmate!
 * 6) **Images:** Using //Creative Commons// quidelines, research photos and images and place information (image & image credit) on your storyboard. What kinds of images do you use? First of all, two images should be the agency logo and a map of your country; after that use images that tell the story of your organization and the work it does. Who are the people it helps? What type of assistance do they give to your country and its people?
 * 7) **Script**: Look at the images on your storyboard and proceed to write a script for your VoiceThread presentation. At the latest have this script finished by Monday.
 * 8) **VoiceThread**: We will begin creating VoiceThread in class on Monday, but if you are ready to proceed over the weekend check out the VoiceThread instructions on the Resources Page link found on the top left.
 * 9) **Due dates: 5th period on Wednesday, March 4 and 3rd, 4th, and 7th periods on Thursday, March 5th.**
