Social Studies: Research
We have one more class period to continue our research. Presentations will take place on Monday and Tuesday next week.
Within the following link, there are 12 different research topics:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/romans/
Your job: identify and researching one topic relating to Ancient Rome. Your paper should be at least 2 pages typed (12-14 font, double spaced).
Don't forget to get on SOAR via Ms. Krause's site: http://vikraus.wordpress.com/
If you want to do something relating to mosaics, you can use this site:
http://www.rammtimetrail.org.uk/Roman-Mosaic/
Gladiators:
You are not limited to these options. Go crazy! Goal: WOW your classmates with the information you are finding. Your challenge: find NEW information relating to your topic.
Just as we are doing in class daily, be prepared to explain WHY ______ (insert your topic here) took place, ended, were so powerful, you get the idea.
The sites provided above are a starting point! Eventually, you should identify other relevant web sites. To start, you need to document at least ten key items relating to the topic. You will be able to continue fine tuning this throughout the week and weekend (if needed, some are done).
As mentioned, the individual 2-3 minute presentations to the class will take place Monday and Tuesday.
You will all be given a rubric to guide you through the process. You need to have at least 3 sources, cite your sources using the following format (online example):
"How to Make Vegetarian Chili." eHow. Demand Media, n.d. Web. 24 Feb. 2009.
Complete guide for citing sources: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/08/
