Research: Protest & Progress

Research Projects

DESCRIPTION

As a final project for 10th grade Humanities class, students zoomed in on a specific person, event, or movement from the 1960-80’s. They crafted an “essential” question to guide their exploration and conducted research across a variety of sources in order to answer that question. Additionally, some students used an article from The New York Times to analyze the progress we, as a society, have or have not made in their topic. Those projects culminated in a creative, open-ended output to answer the question, “Where are we now?” (Note: That final step was not required of AP US History students as they shifted their focus to the final AP exam.)
