Last Lecture Project ** Wikispace: **lastlectureproject2011.wikispaces.com ** Book: **The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch  ** Overview **: From the beginning of the year you have been studying/researching a historical figure you selected. This project uses the information you have gathered on your person to put together a final presentation showcasing how much you have learned about them. You will read and watch The Last Lecture to get an idea what is expected. From there, you will write the “last lecture” of your historical person. Remember, you are BECOMING this person for the presentation. This means you should research their mannerisms, speech, dress, etc. If you do not wear a costume, professional dress is expected.  ** Schedule:  ** Intro to Randy Pausch/General Discussion of Project: Friday, January 14th Timeline of your Individual’s Life: Thursday, March 10th Famous Quotes: Thursday, March 10th Summary Statement: Thursday, March 10th Edited Bibliography: Thursday, March 10th Begin Reading The Last Lecture: Monday, April 18th Watch The Last Lecture: Wednesday and Thursday, May 4th and 5th <span style="font-family: 'Footlight MT Light','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Last Lecture Assessment: Friday, May 6th <span style="font-family: 'Footlight MT Light','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Discussion Posts Due: Friday, May 6th <span style="font-family: 'Footlight MT Light','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Work on Last Lecture Project May 9th – 16th <span style="font-family: 'Footlight MT Light','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Final Bibliography & Last Lectures posted to Edmodo & Wikispaces: Monday, May 16th <span style="font-family: 'Footlight MT Light','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Present Last Lectures: May 17th – 20th <span style="font-family: 'Footlight MT Light','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Final Reflections Due: Monday, May 23rd
