Now that you’ve researched a scapegoat and practiced evaluating your sources, you can compile the information for presentation.
Here are the directions and the scoring guide. This information is the same as the handout you received on Tuesday. If you didn’t receive the handout on Tuesday, you can work using this information.
Scapegoat Project
The final step in your Scapegoat Project is to compile and present the credible information about who the scapegoats were, what they were blamed for, why they were blamed, and what happened to them.
You will use your two to six sources you found on the internet. The majority of the information is to come from the credible sources.
Create a diagram using information and images. This diagram needs to be typed or neatly handwritten. DO NOT use tape to secure images to the diagram. Use glue and use it neatly. You are to use UNLINED paper – poster size is fine. PROOFREAD your information and USE your own phrases and sentences.
The diagram will be organized following this format:
In the center of the four boxes, add another box and write the name of your scapegoat in it.
| Who were these scapegoats? | What were they blamed for? |
| Why were they blamed? |
What happened to them? |
