**Hans Herr House ** **Investigation **

In a few short weeks you will be going on your class field trip to the Historic Hans Herr House. From now until then we are going to spend our Library Instruction time investigating a variety of primary resources that will give you a better idea of what the Hans Herr House was like when it was first established and what it was like to live in a settlement similar to the Hans Herr Settlement. You will work with a partner to create a Google Doc of your findings that must contain information as well as images. Your Google Doc will need a topic or focus. Ideas for your topic are listed below. Please read the Rubric prior to starting your investigation and remember to __**CITE YOUR SOURCES**__. You may hand-in the "fill in the blank" bibliography sheets we have used for previous projects or you may add your sources to your Google Doc. Please remember that Google Docs only requires 1 person to create the document and then that person needs to "share" it with their partner. Creating and sharing more then 1 document will confuse the editing process so decide who will be creating and sharing your document. Follow the "weeks" below or on the left menu bar and please feel free to work ahead or back track as needed. Have fun investigating... I look forward to seeing your completed Hans Herr Google Doc!
