Project Ideas

National History Day in Indiana http://www.indianahistory.org/historyday/index.html This is a project that is not just for social studies or US

History. A great opportunity to team, it addresses multiple standards, is ready made for easy participation, and allows students a variety of project types to pursue for multiple intelligences.

Develop your own repository of primary sources by utilizing student research collections. The students can build a “library” through interviews, photos, etc.

Time Capsule Projects

Citing Sources

http://notestar.4teachers.org/ This site allows teachers to create classes, project,

group, etc. Students can keep track of online/offline sources and

print out bibliographies in MLA or APA format.

http://www.easybib.com/ This is not as in-depth as Notestar, but is useful in

helping students create bibliographies.
