Independent Projects: Step by Step
Description:
Independent Projects, Graduation Projects, Senior Projects, Culminating Projects ― how can students develop them and how can teachers, parents, librarians help?

Independent Projects is designed to provide students, teachers, librarians, and administrators with an easy-to-use method of incorporating independent projects into the high school curriculum.
