Quarter Project

Quarter project:
Choose a theme...
1. Migration or movement of people, refugees
2. Ethnic or Religious conflict
3. Environmental issues
4. Medical or Health issues
5. Human Rights
6. Communications technology

Collect one article a week that corresponds to the theme.  These should be contemporary to today and you should be able to relate them to the theme of your choice.  USE ONLY ONE THEME for this project.  Be sure to analyze each article. You may use the "Historical Reading Skills Chart" from the Stanford website to help in the analysis.  Each article should be saved along with the analysis.  Create a folder/booklet to keep the articles and their analysis.  At the end of the quarter you will examine the articles and look for a pattern or theme.  Predict the direction things are going in the future.
