1. All of the information regarding this project has been compiled into this project folder.  You are responsible for keeping this folder, maintaining it in a reasonable condition, bringing it to all classes during this project, and returning it with your final project inside.  All papers and notes related to this project should be contained in this folder.  At the same time, Latin homework, math quizzes, and science tests should not find their way into this folder.  If you lose the folder, you will be responsible for replacing it.
2. You will be given one source, but working in the library with Mr. Thomas you will be responsible to find at least two more sources and take accurate notes on the topic.   At the end of the final day in the library, source sheets and notes are due.

My dates in the library are:  Monday December 2, 2002 to Friday December 6, 2002.

Source Sheet and Research Notes Due:  Friday, December 6, 2002

3. Now you will need to take your source sheet and turn it into a bibliography.  We will work through this together in class, and you will type a final copy for homework.  You should type this assignment, and save it so that you can make any needed changes or print out a clean copy for the final product. Take your time, and be very careful with punctuation.

Bibliographies are due: Tuesday, December 17, 2002

Corrected bibliographies are due with the final product on

Friday, December 20, 2002

4. Writing the four paragraphs.  Your paragraphs should include one paragraph that provides an overview of your topic and three paragraphs that discuss the details.  More details will follow, and all paragraphs must be submitted no later than Friday, December 20, 2002.  All paragraphs must be submitted on paper and emailed to lohara@germantownacademy.org
5. Finding images for the website.  We will be spending two days in the CALC with Mrs. Siwinski learning how to search with images and create our own web pages.  You will include all of the details and ideas as in a traditional paper or essay, but you will have to put it in a web design as opposed to written in complete sentences in paragraphs.
