The "Who would you clone to save us?" project is one of my favorite units. It involves great research, role playing, and creating a web page. You must simply answer the question -- "What 19th Century person would you clone to deal with today's most important problem?" and convince people that you are correct.


 * 1) You must figure out what the most important problem is facing us now or in the future, and be able to prove that is is in fact, the most important problem.
 * 2) Then figure out what person from the 19th Century you would clone that would be able to help you solve the 21st Century problem and become a hero more than a century after their death.
 * 3) Utilizing the skills and abilities of your 19th Century hero, devise a plan to conquer the 21st Century problem and present it as the clone.

The first people you need to convince are the folks who run the website [|My Hero.] You will create a website for their page based on your hero and submit it for their approval. If they accept it, they will post it on their site for the rest of the world to see! The second people you have to convince are you other classmates in Moran Middle School. Depending on the day and time of you presentation, other classes from Moran will come in to view your presentation.
