 * 2) Choose a project role: Lead Reporter, Cultural Anthropologist, Sociologist, or Historian. One person from each group must fill a different role. If you are working in a group of three, then you need only assign three roles for your group.
 * 3) Using the Project Resources page, review the requirements of your specific research role and, using the websites provided, conduct research on your topic.
 * 4) After reading, annotating, and organizing your research, compose your individual article for the //National Geographic// magazine. Be sure that all of your sources are properly cited according to MLA 7th Edition format.
 * 5) As a group, organize your separate articles into a single publication. Use your imagination to make this as authentic looking as possible. Be creative, but remember that each piece must be typed and properly formatted.
 * 6) Before submitting your magazine to me, be sure to review the rubric on the Evaluation page to be sure that you have earned the maximum amount of points for the project.
 * 7) After completing the individual portion of the project, your group must address the projects essential questions: what does it mean to be civilized? Have we as an American culture really changed our imperialistic ways? Your group response must be in the form of a 2-3 page typed essay. In responding to these questions, you must rely on your group's newly developed expertise. In other words, you must show through your response that each group member has contributed to the essay's final answer. As always, be sure to properly cite any relevant research with parenthetical documentation and a works cited page, both properly formatted according to MLA 7th Edition.
