Embedded Files
Remember, this is an Information Literacy project - the goal is to use all of the required sources that we went over in class!
All information should be in your own words! You may copy and paste information into your notes, but when you present everything you say and the information on your slides should be re-phrased in your own words.
Days 1: Find a book in the HRHS Library about your country. Once you have found a book we will create the citation for it and you will use it to begin your research.
"Finding Your Book" handout and notetaking sheet
Days 1-3: You will have two more class periods to research and take notes for your project – you may also work on the project outside of class if you want to. Be sure to keep track of your sources and create a bibliography!
