Do Something Project Updated Version 2011
Your job this trimester is to work on something that you care about. Come up with a driving question that
relates to a problem that you see in school, in your community, city, state, or even the country. Then you
must create a strategy to do something about it. Your interest project this trimester is going to show what you
found out and how you made an effort to fix the problem.
