Robin Hood research project

Robin Hood research project

• Your task is to produce a presentation about the
  characters of the Robin Hood story.

Some people in History are so famous that there
is a mountain of information about them. Often,
so many sources are available that it is
difficult for historians to work out what is fact
and what is fiction.One of these people is Robin
Hood. You will have heard of him from stories,
television and films. But it is difficult for
historians to work out the truth about what
really happened!Your taskYou must produce a
Powerpoint presentation about Robin Hood. It
should be designed for a tourist attraction in
Nottingham that wants to tell people the Robin
Hood story.

• Remember that your teacher does not want to see
  huge amounts of information on Robin Hood that
  you have copied and pasted from the internet.
  They would much rather see between three and six
  bullet points of relevant information on each
  slide in your own words that shows you understand
  each point. They also want to see an attractive
  presentation with pictures, colour and
  animations!
• And the best presentations will include examples
  of extra research for example, was Robin Hood
  actually a bit of a criminal who doesnt deserve
  to be remembered fondly?!

7

• When completed, it must be printed out and given
  to your teacher. You can stop printing lots of
  paper by selecting File, then Print then change
  the Print what pull down menu to Handout.
  Choosing three slides per page will be enough.
