March 1st is beginning to loom large, so please start thinking
seriously about your topic and question for research in your
historical investigations. I am extending the invitation for everyone
to e-mail me THIS WEEK with a quick e-mail that states: 1. Topic of choice
2. Preliminary Question Please take advantage of this, as it will allow me to provide a bit of
feedback or guidance to the question and area that you have selected
to research. As a subject header, please put YOUR NAME and History IA, so that I
can find them easily among the mountain of e-mails I receive every
day. Yours are more important, so this will help me flag and respond
to them more quickly. For those who can't remember my e-mail address, it's: jonerickson@nvsd44.bc.ca
