This is an idea, of your choice, that you carry from start to finish in several forms:

Ĝ     A plan: Letter of Intent must be submitted and approved before you can start

Ĝ     A paper: 5-8 page formal position research paper that follows MLA formatting guidelines and has at least 6 sources in the bibliography.  (more specifics next month)

Ĝ     A project: Something you do and create a journal/binder about.  These are individually planned, approved, and carried out.

Ĝ     A presentation: Where you show and tell the rest of us what you have done.
