The last in-class research day! I reminded the students if any of them are still feeling stuck, to google the empire name to find expert articles that covers various aspects of the empire, and then do specific Google hunts for subtopics for which they need more information. Tomorrow, I also told them, you will receive the rubric for the project, instructions on the slideshow, the due date, and pointers for making the sharing/presentation low stress; it is a Research score, and so, the bulk of the grade comes from the research, which is why we've been focusing exclusively on that for these several days and not yet looking toward the other parts. ; )
