Project Requirements

  • Students will do original research on a historical topic of their choosing and will publish their findings as a website. 
  • Topics for research are limited to:
                  o The years 1900-1980  (time)
                  o The San Francisco Bay Area (place) 
  • A minimum number of THREE sources is required. A Source is defined as an internet DOMAIN name, or a book, edition of a magazine or newspaper, or notes taken as an oral history. 
                  o An internet domain counts as one source, but any number of "clippings" can be obtained from pages within that domain. 
  • Students will keep all their research materials ("clippings"), notes, and other required documents in a folder on their MHS Google Drive, shared with Ms. Miner 

  • Students will earn points toward the overall score by meeting "benchmark" due dates. 
  • No Credit for the Term Paper will be given (no "paper" accepted) without all benchmarks met or all documents and notes on file. 
  • The completion of the Term Paper is a requirement for passing US History. No Term Paper = no passing grade.
