Welcome to our Wiki on the Monuments and Memorials of Washington, D.C.

On this site, we will share discussions, presentations, and notes about what we study. Your first assignment is to consider the question of what makes a good memorial or monument. Click on the link to the left. It's called "What Makes a Monument Good?" The link to the slide show is there as well as a short assignment for each section.

Your response is due Tuesday.

You will be using the format linked[| here]for ALL of the notes you make on this project. Note taking will begin in class on Tuesday. (THIS IS NOT PART OF MONDAY'S HOMEWORK!)

Resources for the project can be found [|here]. Just click on the tab with your topic. Resources with information about your topic are on the right side of each page. Resources with images for the project are on the left side and we'll talk about those on Thursday. Remember, you do not want to research the same source as your group mates, so explore them a bit and divide them up between your group members. Each of you should read and take notes from at least two sources. media type="custom" key="7041143"
