Assignment:

 

Each team will conduct research on one of the topics included on this page (see center panel). Your research, in combination with an on site trip to the Roosevelt estate, will be utilized to complete a unique documentary film presentation which will be shared with our classes.

 

Each topic page has an overview intended to help guide your research team in the right direction.

 

Some possible sources of information are included on each page. You may, of course, use other sources; but be sure they are as reliable as possible, and confirm anything you think is questionable.
