Have we studied anything in Social Studies that you wanted to learn more about? Maybe a culture, event or time period? Maybe there is a topic that we won’t be able to cover but you were interested in learning about it.
 * Social Studies Research Wiki **

This is your chance!

You will develop a research wiki about any approved topic of your choosing. You will become the __authority__ on your topic. The Assessments:
 * The Goal: **
 * 1) You will be able to discuss your topic with Mr. Stein and any other adult as a peer.
 * 2) You will create a wiki that you will present to the class. **__It will be assessed using the attached rubric.__**

You will gather information from any source you can as long as it is reliable. You will include a Bibliography of your sources.

You can discuss this project with Mr. Stein at any time along the way and share what you are finding out and can ask for help as well.

It is important that you pick a topic that you are passionate to learn about so that you can feel that this assignment is FUN and PLAY rather than work. This should be what you want to do when you have free time. Your topic will be due to Mr. Stein by Mon April 11th 2011. Each person MUST choose a different topic and it will be first come, first served! No duplicates.

You will present your Research Wiki during the week of June 6th. You will also be required to add information as well as discussion to your classmates wikis. You should try to help each other by finding information, sharing resources and by answering and asking questions using the Discussion Tabs. **Have Fun and Seek Knowledge with Passion! **
