In Part 1, students identify the five topics they can choose from, and they are given guidelines on how to write the report and to gather basic information about their topic. At the end of this topic you can celebrate students’ success with one of these certificates. ********************************************************************************** CONTENT: ✶ Cover ✶ Teacher notes ✶ PowerPoint Presentation (fully editable and with animation) ✶ TOU/Credits PAGE COUNT: 25 ********************************************************************************** Related Products All Research Resources **********************************************************************************
