  • Join to access all included materials

Students research on the Web and in other venues to track the Iraq war protests high school students have joined or even led. Students interview students in your community who have joined protests or expressed their views in other ways such as petitions to the U.N. General Assembly and to legislators. Students create a map that can show where these protests occurred and how many students participated. Be sure to indicate the source of your crowd figures.
