Anthem Exploration Projects

Directions:

• In your group, complete the research task indicated.
• Create some sort of interesting and engaging presentation that explains your responses.
• If making a slideshow using Google Slides, be sure to title it "E9 Anthem Exploration Project Group#" (replace with your group number) and share it with [email protected].
• Brainstorm presentation ideas with your group, then get Lowther's approval BEFORE starting.  Ask Lowther for help if stuck.
• Keep a track on your own notebook paper of what tasks you did for your team, as you will turn this in for a portion of your grade.
• ALWAYS CITE YOUR SOURCES, whether a website or novel (you must use specific examples from Anthem, and cite the page numbers from the text I distributed).
