From Past to Present...ation: Latin 2 Research Project

Over the course of fourth term, you will be working on a research project: 

• You can choose any topic as long as it is related to Latin, the Romans, or the classical world as a whole.
• This might be a person, a historical event, a cultural tradition, or something else.
• If you’re not sure where to start, check out the list of topic ideas below.

For a broad topic, like Roman Religion, you’ll have to give a good overview of a large and complex system, while for a more specific topic, like Venus, you’d have to much more detailed presentation.

Research the topic using the provided databases on this research guide. You may also do web research, but only after you have exhausted the database resources through both the CHS library and Frederick County Public Libraries. 

You will also need to access images for your project. Use either the recommended databases or use a Google Filtered Image Search. 

Your research will culminate in a 7-10 minute presentation, aided by a powerpoint or Google Slides presentation.

• Your accompanying presentation should contain primarily pictures and bullet points (no large paragraphs please!).
• Your presentation must also contain citations - use NoodleTools to keep track of all of your sources.
• You must draw from at least five different written sources for your research.
