Process

20101107065705GeneW.jpeg

The first step into completing this project is to perform a basic research on all three philosophers: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle.  You will load this information into a mind map using MindMeister.com.  Be sure to include all three of the following points of information for each philosopher in your research:

  1. Their birth and death dates
  2. Who they studied under
  3. At least one major contribution to society
View the example below to see what your mind map may look like:
You will need to print out your mind map to turn in.

Once you have completed this step, you will then pick one of the three philosophers and further research his life.  At the end of your research, you will write a eulogy as if it were to be read at his funeral as a tribute to his life.  In it, you will need to include basic facts about his life, but focus on his contributions to society both in the era in which he died as well as modern day society.  The eulogy will need to be at least five paragraphs long, but you may present it in any form you choose- i.e. essay form, powerpoint, podcast, videocast.

For your research, see the sites below:
