Here is an idea for a topic?

• Pennies for Peace, a program of the 501(c)3 non-profit organization, Central Asia Institute, was founded by Greg Mortenson. Greg is the co-founder and executive director of Central Asia Institute, and co-author of the #1 NY Times Best-seller, Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Mission to Promote Peace…One School At A Time.

So what topic do I think would be great for you to do?

• I think Pennies for Peace will be a great topic for you to research.

• It fits the criteria. It relates to “My Forbidden Face” which is one of the requirements.

• It will be easy to find resources.• It also is a topic that relates to high school

since high school students can get involved.

need.• I know that schools can join.

Questions to ResearchThis is the info for Slide 3

your topic where you can collect the information you need to answer your questions.

*A good rule for making sure your sources are reliable is to check the ending of the source...

.org

...are USUALLY very safe, reliable sources of information.• You will need this for your bibliography slide on your powerpoint presentation.

Here are some possible sources to use to find the answers to your questions:

/pennies-for-peace/

• These are three good sites to use. Feel free to use these sources if you like this topic.

Now you need to create a slide for each of your 3 sources.

• These 3 slides will be slides 4. 5. and 6.• At the top of the slide you should put the name

of the website.• Then list a question that you can answer from

that site.• And then answer the question.• Repeat questions and answers for all that relate

to this source.• Include a related graphic.

So what do you look for?
