CHW 3M – Your Independent Study Begins!

Today you begin your first work period for the independent study I introduced last week. During this period you should be:

• Conferencing with your partner to figure out what topic you want to choose
• Researching sources of information based on your topic (remember to add ‘site:.edu’ at the end of your search for educational sites)
• Brainstorming ideas on how to present this information to your peers (powerpoint, re-enactment/demo, lecture, group activity, etc.)
• At some point – you must come to me and let me know: 1. your name and who you are working with, and 2. the topic you have chosen (including historical school)

For more information on the historical schools of thought, I have provided a link with some general information on each below.
