Hopefully you are discussing topics with your parents. Parents, if you have not been to the NHD site please go to http://www.nhd.org/. On the 13th you will need:
1) A research topic-exactly what it is you intend to do your project on
2) 4x6 or 5x7 notecards-we will be learning how to write source cards in class
3) Four areas of interest concerning your topic, related to the "essential questions"
What are the essential questions?
1 What made this (debate, diplomacy) a success or a failure?
2 Was it a success in the beginning and later determined a failure? Why or why not?
3 Was an important group of people's voices silenced?
and the most important word - consequences.......
4 How does your topic have long-term impact?
5 How did it change history?
