Advanced US History

You will be working in the LMC to develop your group presentations on the Social Security program in class today.  Again, you belong to one of the four following groups:

1.  Historians
2.  Operations
3.  Problems
4.  Solution Providers

Links to all relevant documents and websites can be found HERE!

Your task with your group members is to find the answers to the questions associated with your group and develop a short powerpoint to assist in explaining the nuts and bolts of your groups questions to the group at large.  You may choose to answer put each question and answer on a different slide and have a different group member explain each slide.  You may choose to develop more of an overview format, rather than going question by question.  As a group, decide on the best path and what you are most comfortable with.  Presentations should ultimately take somewhere between 4 and 8 minutes.

Be sure to save your presentation on the network so we may access it in class on Friday.  Feel free to ask the substitute or Mrs. Koehler/Mikulski for a pass if you need extra time to finish.
