Quarter 4 Research: What should teenagers learn about in school?
YOUR TASK:
For the first quarter, your earned honors assignment will be to find reliable research about a topic that interests you. You will be finding sources, annotating them, and providing a summary of your sources with citations. In this document you will find guides to annotations, templates for your work, videos to help with your troubleshooting, your assignments, and a timeline. This document is your master guide for this project, everything you need will be here!
Your project should answer these questions:
