     On Monday, November 19, each student will be assigned a specific country in Europe for our research project.  Each student will receive a guide for research, outlining the steps and strategies students need to use to successfully complete the project.  In addition, students will tape a full set of directions (see link to copy below) into their journals.  Students will also be instructed to use note sheets, which will be given to students as needed. These note sheets  are to be filled out thoroughly so that students will have all the information needed to complete their "works cited" section, and note sheets will be submitted as part of the final product. The rest of the final product will be in the form of a travel brochure, to be completed using one of the following templates.

    Students will spend November 26-30 in the computer lab, where they will have access to library books and specific computer resources. The links appear below, and students are welcome and encouraged to use them at home if they are able.  Any work that is not completed as of 11/30 will be printed and students will need to complete their brochures by hand. The final product will be weighted as a test grade and measured based on the rubric below.
