Summary
Students collaboratively worked to extrapolate information on specific Greece and Rome topics using a variety of reference sources. They communicated to formulate appropriate research questions relevant to their topic. These questions guided their research. Groups debated what technology project would best display their information. Completed projects were then uploaded to the Museum Box website. Each student constructed an artifact to represent their topic. At the completion, families were invited to a share fair.
