Researching and Writing Project
Throughout the year you have been given instructions on how to conduct proper research online and complete a thoughtful and thorough notecard. During the IDU you will be asked to research ONE Holocaust/World War I, World World II, anything between 1900-1945 topic of your choice. The most successful projects research a specific topic; for example, researching "Extermination Camps" is not specific enough, neither is "World War Two battles", or "Generals in World War Two". As we talked about during the Researching and Writing process you need to narrow down your topic. This is such a great assignment to help get you jump started on a topic that you could use later on the blogs, reading responses, or Connect #3! As we always say, work smarter and make sure that this project can be used for other things in the IDU. The best submissions are those that are thoughtfully connected, or can be connected later, to other assignments in the IDU!
