Assigned By: Andrews, Brittany | Today students were introduced to their Major Research Project.
This project includes a submission of a proposal and a final project- Google Slideshow.
However, if students wish to compete to attend the Regional Heritage Fair, then it is advised they complete a backboard from the beginning.
Students can work individually or with a partner. If they work in pairs, they will only need to hand in one document per group.
In Google Classroom, students can find a topic suggestion document as well as the Project Proposal. We will be working on this proposal together for the next couple of classes.
Proposal due date: October 17th. |
