At the time of writing this posting, I am awaiting the opportunity to review the upcoming History assignment with the students from 7B. I have tried to make it as student friendly as possible. I have provided options for completing it and the opportunities to work alone or in a group.
Once the assignment has been verified, I will have a handout for the students. Although the assignment sheet is comprised of 4 sheets of paper, it is intended to provide some guidance for them and answer any initial questions they may have.
