In my earlier post, I provided a link to a multi-faceted research project for my American Studies students which focuses on either a national topic with internatonal connections or on an international topic with national connections. Though my students are in the early stages of an academic experience that will extend well into their senior year, they have impressed me so far with both the quantity and quality of their critical thinking as they explore, evaluate, and begin to hone their research topics. Consider the range of their interests by visiting their blogs, linked below:
