Select the most appealing from the attached list of possible projects and activities. Each project requires completion of a typed bibliography detailing references used to complete the project (minimum of 3). Many projects require completion of a report or paper. Papers are to be no shorter than the stated minimum (usually 2-3 pages), double spaced (12 point font, 1" margins), plus references. Under no circumstances are you to just copy or cut and past information into your paper. If you must quote a reference, use the appropriate notation. Charts or graphs should be done in Excel.

You can use your textbook, the library, resources in the classroom, the internet, public documents and professionals as references, but you must reference them in your bibliography. Follow the attached Reference Guidelines (these are also available on-line at the class website http://bawhalen.tripod.com )

Some projects require completion of a display. A display is more than a poster with pictures and text copied off the internet. If you copy material from the internet or other sources you will receive an "F" (and there will be NO second chances). If the project requires photographs, I recommend developing pictures on CD’s (you can do this with a disposable camera) or use a digital camera, so that photos can be edited. Keep accurate notes on what, where and when you photographed or videotaped and include it in your documentation.

All projects will be presented to your peers beginning Monday, June 16^th. Everyone must be ready to present on that day. I expect presentations to take 3 class periods.
