What it covers
In this capstone unit you will design and complete your own research project based on intensive, direct work with historical sources. We will explore the rich and diverse archives that are available to historians and how these sources can help us make sense of the past. Your research project can cover any historical period or place, limited only by the availability of primary and secondary materials. You will have the option to submit your research as an essay, podcast, website or some other form of communication. You will also collaborate with your peers as you present your research and assist each other in developing your projects.
