Research Project

Hey folks, 

For the next little while you will be using the "Pages" tab on the side menu of your blog (in the build screen).

Now that you have completed your research, it’s time to put it all together. Remember, you are trying to answer your inquiry question to the fullest and most complete extent that you can.

Options for presenting your learning:

• Formal Essay
• Canva/ Static Visual
• Podcast with a summary
• Video with a summary
• Other?

You will be evaluated based on the fullness of your response and the level of competency you have demonstrated surrounding your given topic. Your breadth of knowledge on the topic should come through in the product.

You will also be evaluated on the accessibility of the content you produce – it should be clear, easy to follow, and informative.

You will also be evaluated on your research. I will be looking at the quantity of sources used to inform your learning, the use of proper MLA citations in a WORKS CITED PAGE, and the attribution of your information to the appropriate sources (make sure you can tell where your information came from – sources are indicated for all information).
