In this course, you will choose and explore a "Big Idea" in depth, through advanced research techniques.  You will show your learning at various points throughout the course.  The format for these learning demonstrations is open.  You could write a paper, create a rap, or do an interpretive dance.  As long as you cite your sources and successfully communicate your learning, you can do it.  (It also needs to be safe and school appropriate.)

My name is Ms. Schulz. This is my ninth year at Windsor High School and my 19th year teaching. I am from Nebraska where I earned my B.S. in German and Art History. I taught in Nebraska for eight years while obtaining my M.S.E. with specializations in ELL and Technology. I moved to Colorado to work on my Ph.D. at UNC.
I am a life-long learner, traveler, adventurer, and much more. I look forward to getting to know all of you during this personalized course.
