Student-Led Research Project Day One

Below you will find the important details and resources for this project.

What are you doing?

You will be creating a driving question around something you would like to see changed in GVR, Montbello, or Denver.  You will then research how to implement your ideas and who to get your ideas to.  Finally, you will share your work with that person or group in order to try and get your suggested change enacted.

Why are we doing this:

A large number (66%) of you said that participation was down in class because: you're bored, you feel like it doesn't apply, or you don't care.  This is your chance to pick something that you are interested in.  If you are bored and disinterested in this project, the blame lays with you.  This is your topic; this is what you want to change; this is about your neighborhood or school.
