8th Grade Blog Project: Great Depression and New Deal

Great Depression and the New Deal
8th graders are working on a unit project which serves as an alternate assessement for this unit instead of a formal test. The project is due on Thursdsay March 27th and can be accessed via the website http://wilsongreatdepression.wordpress.com/

Students will respond to three different topics, and submit their response through the blog page using their first name and last initial. Each response will not appear until it has been accepted by Ms. Pasquarella for safety concerns. Students can use their textbooks, notebooks, internet or other book research and have been reminded to do independent and authentic work, as it will be easy to check if they attempt to copy. If they do outside research it should be correctly cited, and can earn them extra credit.
