Library Skills Research Project

The ability to quickly and accurately find answers to questions, is an important skill, that can only be mastered with practice. In Library Skills students will conduct a research project on one of ten Ancient History's Mysteries. This project is as much about the process of research as it is about the end result that comes from the research. In researching Ancient History's Mysteries, the students are able to research questions that have no right or wrong answers. Click here to start the journey through Ancient History's Mysteries.
