Social Studies Research Project Update

Students should now have completed reviewing possible sources, and should be gathering research in the form of keywords, using the pages provided.

If you need copies of any of the assignment pages, they are located on the right hand side of this blog.  You may print a copy.

Don't forget, that after you complete your keywords and write your rough copies, there are a number of other project requirements:
- editing
- second draft
- proofreading
- publishing (cover page, pictures, captions, map)

All are described on the main project criteria pages.

Special Map Instructions

When it comes time to do your map, perform a Google Images search using the following keywords: "blank map (your country or ancient civilization name)."  Choose a medium to large sized image.  Copy and paste the image into Word, and then print it.  Use your school atlas to complete a detailed copy of the map. Your map should include:

- title
- provinces/states/territories and their borders
- main cities
- roadways
- physical features (oceans, seas, mountains, rivers, etc.)
