Each team tours real Baseball Hall of Fame to understand concept. Each team is assigned a player, of 6 players , but each reads about and researches all 6 players to understand the contest competition. After doing web research, students compile facts for their oral presentation. Finally, they research encyclopedia and school library for other supporting evidence on behalf of their assigned player. Each team divides up the oral presentation, so that the duties are evenly divided.
All teams present orally.
Everyone marks a ballot that allows a yes or no vote for each player to decide whether each player shall be admitted to the classroom's hall of fame. The amount of time needed depends on the number of computers available to the class. If possible, baseball articles from the Union -Tribune sports page, can be incorporated to relate the historical research to current events. Entry Level Skills and Knowledge Students need at least basic mouse skills. Students will print out their assigned player's vital statistics from web page to be able to fashion outline of oral presentation at their desks.
