History projects outside of class. There are a multitude of project ideas at
the back of each chapter in our yearly textbooks. You may also come up with
your own project. However, it is very important to realize that you must conference with me about your
project before you start. In our conference you will need to tell me what
you would like to do, how you are going to do it, when you will turn it in,
and how many points you would like to gain from it. You and I will negotiate
the points you may earn. I will not accept any project that has not gone
through this process. Current
