1. Categorize: Maybe your notes fit into the headings from the lesson (Early Life, Later Life, etc.) but maybe they don't. Maybe there was no information on the person's early life. If needed, you can make your own "three categories" that are organized sequentially.

2. Organize your notes (like a timeline but not a neat fancy beautiful time - after all, these are your rough notes, not a finished product) into the categories. These categories will form sections of your biography.

You can:

• Organize your sticky notes on a poster paper, regular paper, or even on a cupboard/wall, if your home facilitator says OK. Then take pictures and put them into a single document.
• Number your notes for each section that you took on regular paper. Then scan or take pictures and put them into a single document.
• Use copy and paste to organize note you took on a computer.

Send a copy of your notes, including your sources "notes" to your teacher. Be sure they are organized (Early Life, Later Life, etc.). Your teacher wants to see POINT FORM NOTES in YOUR OWN WORDS.

• If you did "sticky note notes" or took notes on paper, take a digital picture. Do not mail them in as you need them for the next step.
• If you did your notes on the computer, you can simply use the drop box.
• Your sources simply need to be recorded in any order. You will learn how to organize them in an upcoming lesson.

Assessment: 4 marks = Outstanding! You made sure you chose a person with lots of information, you've collected it in point form, and organized it well. Your sources are clearly recorded. 3 marks - Fully meets expectations = Good job! You have enough notes to form your biography, you've used point form and your own words, your categories are logical, and you have included a record of your sources. 3 = Minimally meeting - work may be inconsistent or need support in some areas.

Submission Options:

• Attach a document completed on your computer using the dropbox below.
• Scan it as one big .pdf file. (best idea)
• Drop it off with your teacher. (also a great idea, but more difficult to return)
• Scan it as multiple .jpg's and put them into a single WORD document.
• Pull out your phone and take pictures. (Make them good pictures; then embed them all into a single word document.)

If you have a new scanner and are trying to figure out the best way to scan your submission, here are some tips:

• Paper Size: 8.5 x 11 inches (most typical or can be resized later)
• Colour Format: Grayscale (keeps file smaller then color, yet still clear)
• File Type: PDF (best), or JPG (if PDF isn't available)
• Resolution: 150 or 200 (can use 300 if small details don't show with 150/200)

If you are scanning or taking pictures, please do not submit pages or images as separate files. You can combine your scans or images into a single document (page-by-page) and submit your work as one file.
