Project Outline
Primary resources are a vital way to understand our past. Here at W. Ross we have an almost 140 year history. Using "Centre Walk" we're going to investigate some of our history and share it with your fellow students, as well as parents and staff.

Each student will be assigned a former student interviewed in Centre Walk. They are to write a short bio of this person AND some interesting historical information that they have learned from this persons interview. Provided below you will find some guiding topics for you to think about as you go through the material. You will be required to write a 150-200 word post on it. You are to hand it in to Mr. Maggiacomo, who will help you edit it, then pass it on to the fine folks at the ROSSter.

What is a "bio"? It is some basic information about a person, their name, when they lived, some defining physical features as well as their interests. In each one of these student profiles in "Centre Walk" you should be able to pick up enough information to give a basic bio of that person.

**Topics To Consider**  Drama  Sports  National scope of earlier years  Farming Courses and School Programs Social aspects throughout years School during war years Post-secondary destinations through the years Fun anecdotes/stories Music

The basic structure of your post will look something like this;
