Famous For A Day
Process
During the following week, you will
be discussing possible activities for a famous person's typical day.
As we are learning, you will be selecting three people whose shoes you
will want to wear for a day.
1) You need to find three famous people to
do your research on that are interesting to you. They should each
have a different occupation.
2) Keep a set of notes on some of the information
you find out about the people, so you can later narrow it down to your
three favorites.
3) Start doing your research by going to the website
http://www.celebhoo.com/
or http://www.celebrity-link.com/.
These two pages are search engines for famous people that are easy to navigate
and give detailed descriptions of the selected person.
4) Now, you should have selected your three favorite
people.
5) Write down the names of your people and prepare
notebook to use as your journal.
6) You need to find at least one website that gives
a specific description for each individual person. You may have more
than one for each if you are lacking information.
7) In your journal, record some general findings
you have collected about each of the three famous people. Keep in
mind the required questions as you do this.
8) Based on your findings, choose just one person
that interested you the most and that you would like to continue research
on.
9) Find at least two more sites with information
about the person you have selected. These sites should facilitate
in finding the answers to the following required questions.
REQUIRED QUESTIONS
-
What does this person do that makes them famous?
-
How much is his or her average annual salary, approximately?
-
What does he or she like to do in their spare time?
-
What other interests are they passionate about? Maybe enough to donate
their time and money to...
-
What are a few facts about this person's background that were intriguing
to you?
-
What would a typical day be like as this person, their specific schedule?
10) Make a 10-15 minute video based on your research.
You may act as the person you chose, or simply give a presentation of your
findings. The video should include answers to to all of the required
questions, plus the specific schedule of the day. Use all the information
you collected to design the schedule of that person's typical day.
11) Be sure to think of all the possible ways to
spend your day as a famous person.
