Presentation transcript:

What to use  You must choose a topic that is appropriate for school.  Your topic must have a lot of information about it. Recent people, places, and things will not have enough info. Ex. Wiz Kalifa will not have enough info.

What to use  Choose a topic that interests you and you want to learn more about.  Topics from other subject areas would be great to pick. You may be able to use this project for points in another class! Ex. Choose a person from history class, Pick an element or natural disaster from science class.

What to use  Start researching a broad topic 1 st, then narrow it to a more specific topic. Example: Start off with the Civil War, narrow it down to Medical Treatments of the Civil War.  Example Topic: The Cleveland Browns, Tigers, Hurricane Katrina, Stem Cells, BP Oil Spill

Rules  You cannot do a topic somebody else has already chose  Topics must be approved by Mr. Gabbard  If you can’t find enough resources for your topic then you can’t do that topic.
