EDUCATIONAL TOOL:   Your project should culminate in some kind of **EDUCATIONAL TOOL** that clearly demonstrates what you have learned through your research. The tool should be informative in nature. The choices are endless. Take advantage of skills you already have: are you a dancer? Poet? Filmmaker? Do you like words or numbers? Both?

Your educational tool should stand alone. It should be comprehensive enough that anyone could look at, listen to, read or experience it and learn what you want to teach them.

 Use your critical thinking skills to determine proper scope here: you don’t have time to write a symphony, but you may have time to write a song, so to speak.

__**Your educational tool should demonstrate a solid amount of work. If it looks like it took 20 minutes, it will not pass **__.

There are other possibilities, but if you have an idea that is not on this page you need to discuss it with me.

Notice: scrapbooks are not on this list. I have found that scrapbooks rarely reach the depth that is needed for this project. You can do better than glue and paper--unless you're doing a full scale art installation! Also, Power Point presentations are not acceptable as educational tools. I would recommend one as a guide in your final presentation, but not as a product.
