Intro to Research (and New Deal contd.)

Today, you'll start by making a new folder within your 2nd semester U.S. History folder in your drive labeled Research Project. Then, each of the following will be placed in it.

• Students will receive their topics for the Research Project.
• The notetaking system for research will be introduced: Color-Coded Notetaking
• Here is your research review
• Begin a new document labeled research tips.

For homework students should start by reading the digital history link for their topic and making a list of keywords. They should read the 1920's or 1930's overview from the American History Database (this can be your first source) and continue to make your list of key words. Using your topic and key words, students will then find, read and add notecards or slides to their notes for each article.

With the remaining time in class, students will finish their New Deal Web Activity.
