I can use the internet to research a topic. I can determine whether a website has true facts by using the URL address and cross checking with other websites.

I can create a brochure using text boxes, word art, and inserting shapes and images.



1. Open Microsoft Publisher brochure. Pick a two page brochure.

2. Use www.google.com to research your lifetime.

*What happened in history on the day you were born?

*Who was president the year you were born?

*How has technology changed during your lifetime? (find 3 inventions)

*What major world historical events occurred in your lifetime?

*What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?

*What was a popular song you remember singing in the car?

*How has the environment changed in your lifetime?

3. The inside of your brochure should be a timeline with major events marked by text boxes and lines.

4. The outside of your brochure should have a title, your name, and your favorite bit of research in paragraph form.

5. Print 1.


I can apply my grammar skills in a research situation.
*You must have:
1. A compound sentence.
2. All subject and verbs must agree within a sentence.
3. Correct spelling.
