HI EVERYONE! These are the pages that you will find our Unit Web Projects and WWW Sites for Units 5, 6, & 7. (See below!) **(Due dates will be posted as the year progresses.)** I have developed these projects so that everyone has a chance to excel at their given talents, for example, you might choose to write a poem or essay, draw a map or picture, or do a presentation on the given topic! REMEMBER: All projects must include a list of web sites that you accessed for each project. (This is called a bibliography.) You are required to use 4 WEB SITES that I have assigned and 2 WEB SITES that you have found.
