The Eighth Grade Ancient History scholars are beginning their first research project this week. 

•  Each student will choose a topic relating in some way to archaeology.  It can be from any point in history, and relate to any place in the world.  This is their chance to investigate something they find personally interesting.  

• The students will research and become an expert on this topic.  

• Then they will teach a lesson to the class presenting their research.  

• They must each create a visual project to help get their information across to their "students." 

•  The research components emphasized during this project are evaluating web sources and proper bibliography formatting and documentation. 

•  Please ask an eighth grader to show you their Independent Research Project Forms for more information.
