Notecards or NoodleBib?
We are having a big debate in our history department regarding the best method of taking notes for the traditional research paper: 3x5 notecards or NoodleBib type programs.

People already mentioned: create a memorial and National History Day
Nominate less well known people for a fictive History Hall of Fame (or shame)

Diana Laufenberg replied to Kate Barnhardt's discussion Independent Project Ideas? in the group US History Educators"I have students craft an entry for National History Day.

Kimberly Johnson replied to Kate Barnhardt's discussion Independent Project Ideas? in the group US History Educators"Depending on the time period, students could interview friend/ family/ faculty who lived through the time period and compare their interviewee's answers to the historical record. For instance, how similar is my interviewee's…"
