Progressive+Era+Project+Extra+Info

= __//PROGRESSIVE ERA PROJECT EXTRA INFO//__ = For a detailed description of the project, please remember to consult the original project document here: @Project Docs US History 09-10. That link also has the project groups and selected topics, descriptions of the purpose and methods of political cartoons, as well as examples of one person's primary source analyses and one group's newspaper from last year.

While the project document is detailed and needs to be thoroughly examined in order for your group to succeed, here are a few project-related announcements that may help:
 * **Communication**: Be sure to communicate early (as in ASAP) and often with your group members about the project. This project will be successful ONLY through quality communication and effort by all three people.
 * **Due dates within groups:** Even though the actual paper is due on Tuesday, I highly recommend that all of the articles be written by Saturday so the other group members will have time to proofread and layout the paper.
 * **Topics**: Each group has at least 3 topics already chosen (from Monday's class) for news stories. They may be used in any of the required types of articles. For instance, a group who has "Theodore Roosevelt" can do a news story about him, create an initiative for his government, conduct an interview with him, or do pro/con editorials about something Roosevelt did.
 * **Extra Topics**: There are many extra, i.e. "unused," topics. All groups are welcome to use the unused topics in their newspaper. To see which topics have already been claimed, view the "Progressive Era Project Groups" document. The topic must be unused for BOTH classes.
 * **Political Cartoons:** For those unsure of the purpose and methods of political cartoons, see the "Cartoon Interpretation" document.
 * **Advertisements**: The advertisements should only use original artwork and slogans.
 * **Q & A**: Anyone who has questions about the project should ask their partners first. If the question has still not been answered, then questions should be posted in the "discussion" tab on this page. Mr. Duncan will answer most of those questions within 24 hours.
