English 10: Nobel Peace Prize Exploration: Resources

Class + Project

English 10:

Tragedy into Triumph

Choose a Person to Research + Research Day!

Today's Gameplan:

Choose your person and check in with your teacher

Using Noodletools to take notes 

Use the provided resource about that person to start your notecards

Use suggested resources to find more information OR the guide of how to find strong resources

NoodleTools Notecards

Notecard Reminders: 

You need at least one notecard (clearly titled) for each of the following:

  • unchecked Life basics: Name, birthday, death day (as appropriate), place born, any other early life circumstances
  • unchecked Early life important moments
  • unchecked Traumatic event/s
  • unchecked Activism activities - Notecard 1
  • unchecked Activism activities - Notecard 2
  • unchecked Impact on society

*You should end up with WAY more than these six notecards - this just a baseline of expectations and categories you need to consider when creating notecards

 

Source Reminders:

You need at least three sources, with one being a database and one being a website. The third is of your choice.

  • unchecked Nobel Peace Prize web page on the person
  • unchecked One database
  • unchecked One website (that you’ve used SIFT on)

Databases

Starting Your Research

How should I approach my research?

  • Start with: The Nobel Peace Prize Website

  • Search the databases for more information on either the person, their country of origin, or the events leading to their receiving the Nobel Peace Prize
