Research an Oklahoman

Assignment

So far, you have been introduced to only a few talented people from Oklahoma. In this assignment, you will choose one famous Oklahoma actor to research. Note: "Actor" can be used to describe a male theater performer, and can also be used to describe both men and women theatre performers collectively. For this assignment, we will use the second definition that describes both men and women drama performers.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a reliable source of information on many people working in the Arts and Entertainment field. In addition to the performers you have learned about on previous pages, you can choose anyone from this list to research.

For this assignment, you will choose an artist from an IMDb list of Oklahoma celebrities and answer the questions below about them. Click IMDb Oklahoma Celebrities to access a list of celebrities you can research for this assignment.

Once you choose the person you want to research:

1. Click on the person's name on the list to open their page.

2. Underneath their picture will be a short biography paragraph. Click the arrow at the end of the paragraph to open their full "Mini Bio".

If you are unable to find the information you need, feel free to search elsewhere. Type the person's name into a search engine with other words like "biography" or "birthplace." Otherwise, you will likely get a bunch of paparazzi photos or gossip reports and no real information. If you are unsure about how to research or where to research, ask your classroom teacher for guidance.

Prompts

Using the information you find, provide complete answers to the questions below:

1. Where was your chosen actor born?

2. What are they famous for?

3. How did they get started in their career?

4. Write one interesting fact about your actor.

5. Include a photo(s) of your chosen actor.

Type your answers to each question in the text entry box, OR you can record yourself answering each question. The recording can be audio only or audio/video.
