In-Depth+Studies+Spring+2011


 * Based on the voting, classes will explore the following topic more in-depth in April:
 * **Marriage and Family**
 * Also based on the voting, students will create original research questions and projects/experiments related to the following topics:
 * Notes about the research
 * Students will play an important role in shaping the parameters for the project.
 * Mr. Duncan will require students to create an original research question, read and write at a high level when looking for answers to their question, and, in addition to in-class presentations, present/communicate the final project to someone/people outside of our class (and preferably outside of KIS). Feel free to start brainstorming before we do so as a class in Feb.
 * While the process will be officially started in mid-February, students may begin reading books/articles/blogs related to their general topic immediately.
 * The groups listed below will help in providing feedback/critiquing each other's projects, but the tentative plan is for each person to do an individual project.
 * The chapters listed below will provide background info that will serve as a springboard for research.
 * This will help count for both the "exam" and "research" portions of the student's grade.
