Note Cards, Databases and Research, Oh My!

Students in grade 8 are researching topics related to social justice or rather injustice. They are considering the questions: How can learning about the past help us make just and fair decisions in the future?  What secrets can we uncover about the past?  How can I make a difference in the pursuit of fairness? The topics range from child soldiers to domestic abuse as students pursue topics of their interests and curiosity.  Right now they are furiously locating books, databases, and websites as they take notes to report their findings.  Check out the pictures below to see students at research!
