Classes wrote a brief explanation of John Donne's line, "No man is an island." This was collected for a grade.
Research topics were chosen and the directions were discussed:
Research Project
Over the next two weeks we will be working together on research skills. The topics are important events or people in American history. We will have time in the library with Mrs. DeLilli working on necessary research skills along with time to investigate your own topic.
This information will be presented in a poster format to your class. The poster must include:
1. Your topic, in bold, easy to read writing
2. Pictures, graphics- either hand drawn or prints with captions
3. Information from your 3 sources in a well organized, logical, sequenced order. Typed information can be presented in a report format, or it can be separated into sections to coordinate graphics.
4. Reference page of 3 sources used- typed and attached to the back of the poster.
