This project is ongoing. Students work in teams where they will build vocabulary as well as research and critical thinking skills. As we move through the school year students will research several history topics. I will provide short readings in which students will investigate and elaborate on the information provided. They will then use their tablets to conduct research on the given topic. Research will be written on the Dry Erase Boards requested. The white boards provide students an opportunity to write out and adapt their research according to the guided questions I present to the team. The boards will also provide a place for students to begin their thought process and answers to the topic's essential questions. These research projects allow students to take control of their learning as I facilitate and guide them through each topic. The goal is to allow students to gain the ability to critically think while depending on each other to complete the tasks at hand. This type of team work and research will prepare students to better comprehend reading materials and identify bias in history and current documents; preparing them to become effective citizens after high school.
