On the topics list! Using the google search function. iMovie made Documentary. Perseverance, minorities.
Logistics of the Project: 1.     Where will notes/work be stored? 2.     How will resources used be tracked and separated into primary and secondary sources? 3.     How will time in class and outside of class be best utilized?	Step Two document. During research, I sort them into primary and secondary sources. It’s rather easy- anything that looks official is probably primary. If it only looks half official, look it up. Organized into small brackets- we make the script on monday-wednesday, we find images on thursday-friday, and iMovie on the weekend!
