The guideline for your biography presentation is as follows:

NO PAPER-Presentation Only.
Must be between 2 and 4 minutes long.

WHAT TO DO FIRST:
Research an individual who has contributed to society (artists, writers, educators, sports figures, political and religious leaders, historical figures, etc.) but whose death was related to substance abuse, suicide, or violence. Present your findings to the class.

When all presentations are complete, as a class we will reflect on the gifts and potentials these people left unfulfilled.

YOUR PRESENTATION:
Must include Dates of Birth and Death.
Should include information about their childhood and rise to fame.
Must include why this person contributed to society.
Must include the lifestyle choice that caused this person to die prematurely.
