Comments are your explanation of how and why this fact contributes to understanding this person as a game-changer and as influential--why this fact deserves to be part of the monologue you will write and present as if you are this person. If you like, you can comment on the fact in the first-person, similarly to the way you will present this fact as if you are the subject by saying "I."
Move your passages and comments to the table in the Google Doc along with the source citation. Include a parenthetical citation with each quoted passage--remember these are just the first part of the longer Works Cited entry, such as the author's last name or the title of the article.
Continue finding and adding sources to Scrible until you get at least three different sources with at least fifteen facts about your person.
Then find a quotation, something your person said or wrote, that you like to help show how he or she is a Game Changer. Also choose a photograph that you will use to try and guide your imitation of him or her.
Then begin writing the monologue on the Google Doc--what you will say while you are depicting him or her. Include summaries and paraphrased versions of the facts you learned from your sources and placed into the table on your Doc. The facts you include should be cited with parenthetical citations to indicate from what source you took the information.
