[LM_NET] TARGET: Project vs. report

[Nina Jackson <njcatsandbooks@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi all,
I am working with our 7th grade history teachers on a mini-research unit for
the Reneisance (sp?). They are going to research one of four famous people,
looking at four sub-topics (Early life, accomplishments, haven't picked the
other two yet). I would love to have them present their work in a project
instead of a report; I've seen ideas on this before, but the only ones I can
find right now are alternate book reports for English. I have had one
thought so far; a collage where they have to use pictures that relate to the
information they found and then on the back or on a separate paper they have
to write why they choose that picture and how it is related to the
information they found. I'm not sure if that would work? Any thoughts on
this idea or any other ideas out there? I would love to hear them. (I will
post a HIT.)
TIA
