This document outlines the requirements for an 8th grade social studies exit project consisting of three parts: a research paper, presentation, and graphics. Students must choose a topic related to World War 1, World War 2, or the Progressive Era to research. They then develop a focused research question, conduct research using at least three sources, and write a 6-page paper presenting their findings. Finally, students create a 5-10 minute presentation to teach classmates about their topic, supported by a visual graphic such as a poster, diagram, timeline, or technology-based presentation.
