  3. UBIQUITOUS: CHARACTERIZED BY BEING EVERYWHERE; OMNIPRESENT; WIDESPREAD; PERVASIVE • What do cell phones, iPods, Starbucks coffee shops, and McDonald’s fast-food restaurants have in common? They are all UBIQUITOUS. Popular fashions are also PERVASIVE. For example, baggy knee-length shorts have completely replaced the once-PREVALENT short shorts of the 1970s. From high school b-ballers to WNBA and NBA superstars, long shorts are now UBIQUITOUS.

  6. Proof of how mobile technology has become ubiquitous in our society

  7. What things are ubiquitous in small towns in Florida?

  8. Your Subtopics Go Here DBQ Project Choose a topic of historical interest. Locate resources about the topic. Formulate a question that the documents help to answer. Brainstorm outside information necessary to answer question. Then, create your essay question, document list, and sample essay. Project Due on Friday at the end of class!

  9. You must have between 6-8 sources directly related to your topic that will be used in writing your essay. At least ONE of your sources must be from a periodical (newspaper or magazine). At least ONE of your sources should be from a printed work of non-fiction (book, textbook, encyclopedia, etc.) Use the annotated bibliography list and card catalog link to help you locate additional sources for your project. Finding Sources

  10. Formulating Your Essay Prompt Once you have located your sources and complete the source analysis forms, create an essay prompt that you can answer USING the documents you have collected. The trick to this is to make your question broad enough that you won’t exclude the use of any of your documents. After you figure out your prompt, begin formatting your project. Read over the directions provided on the required template (we want these to look professional). Next, use the template on the class wiki to assist you in formatting your essay prompt (cut-and-paste from format).

  11. Once you have created your essay prompt in the designated format and entered in the vital information for each source in your document list, you will need to identify what additional information is most relevant and needed in responding to your essay prompt. These are the things that you may not find in documents, but would need to discuss in your essay. Create a list of 6-8 SFIs (Specific Factual Information) and record them on the form provided. SFIs should be very specific details. As a general rule, think of proper nouns here. If it needs to be capitalized (people, places, events, movements, etc.) than it is probably ok. Outside Information

  12. Finalizing Your Project The final step in your project is to create a sample exemplary essay for your prompt. Make sure that your sample essay USES all of your documents and outside information. After finishing, look over the project grading rubric to ensure you have completed all required tasks and will get full points. Then, print out your essay, essay prompt and document list, and submit them along with your brainstorming chart and outside information list in the following order: • Essay Prompt and Document List • Sample Essay • Outside Information List • Brainstorming Organizer • Primary Source Logs
