For a list of chapters titles, see the ones listed on the left side here ==>> [|Chapters 9-22]. Students may not go in-depth on Chapters 1-8 as they will at least be partially covered during the semester.

To earn the full 10 points for this section, each student must excel at each of the following four phases: > Note: Mr. Duncan is open to the idea of a student earning the 10 points by doing the in-depth chapter study in a different manner, but it must receive prior approval.
 * 1) **Read** the selected chapter and then, in a Google doc titled "(your name) In-Depth Chapter Study - (chapter title)," **list** 10 interesting facts learned from various parts of the chapter **and write** 3 open-ended questions related to the topic (even if what you are asking is not addressed in the chapter) that you would like to explore more.
 * 2) After meeting with Mr. Duncan to discuss your questions, **create** a mini-presentation based on 1 original research question to share with the class. Unlike the work required for the major project, the research for this presentation is only expected to take 1 class period and the preparation for the presentation should take approximately the same time. The teacher will still have high expectations but those expectations will also be based on the fact that students have only 2 class days to prepare.
 * 3) Dig deeper - **Watch** 1 TED talk (or something similar related to the topic) **and read** 1 (or more) researched article on the topic. Mr. Duncan can help you find videos and/or articles for this section. Sample selections for the "Sex and Gender" chapter are included here.
 * 4) **Reflect** on (a) the mini-presentation, (b) TED talk, and (c) article in separate paragraphs in a Google Doc titled "(your name) (chapter title) Reflection"
