Description
This short research project about utopias helps students practice skills like summarizing, paraphrasing, embedding quotes, and citing sources. Each side of the Research Cube targets a different skill and presents a different facet of the topic. Students will love this alternative to a research paper! Use this project in conjunction with any dystopian novel study like The Giver or The Hunger Games, or as a stand-alone project. Includes project guidelines, rubric, research sheet, and student samples.
Your students will love this non-threatening research activity! They start their cube on an ordinary box of tissues, and you can use these in your classroom after the project has been completed and graded.
