- Analyzing Art in Ancient Societies, Jack Norton
- Ancient Art Mashup, Jack Norton
Inquiry Kit, Celeste Sharpe
This project has 3 major components which take place over 2 weeks about midway through the semester: Project Pitch, Peer Feedback on Pitches, and the Final Draft.
I designed this project to help prep students for their culminating research project. It also addresses a persistent student request for models and examples to guide their learning. The inquiry kit model allows students to practice formulating the key building blocks of an historic research project: guiding questions, finding credible sources, citing those sources appropriately, and describing how those sources relate to the research questions.
