From question to thesis statement

We are in the process of wrapping up the research portion of our research project.  Many students realized the need to revise their question as they began reading and researching.  Some even revised two or three times!

Now we are going to be taking a step back and synthesizing what we learned.  We will ask ourselves the question, "What can I say about my topic?" or "What am I going to be able to prove with all of this research?"  The answers to these questions will lead us to our thesis statement.

Also, our survivor groups are determining where and what to farm and domesticate.  We have realized that fertile soil is necessary, so there are some groups that are finding the need to move.  Our models will begin to represent this shift from hunting and gathering to farming.  Each group is also working to build a google presentation that will highlight all the information they have learned and the decisions they have made.  We will begin presenting these towards the end of the month!


Here are some of the researchers hard at work...
