Comparing and contrasting information and graphics found in print vs. non-print or between websites if more than one website was used. Currency of information in print vs. non print or between websites if more than one website is used. Students evaluate their own search stategies and their success.
Students present their project to others.
Each student group is given the chance to review each project and using the rubric evaluate projects of others and make suggestions and comments. We suggest you vary the end product. Once again, web links can be found on the MCPS social studies curriculum webpage .
