Internal Assessment

During the Third Quarter we will be looking at the rise of Hitler AND writing a research paper.   The research paper can be on any topic of your choice, but I will make some suggestions about what might be the best for the IB class.  The paper also has some very specific guidelines to follow, which will be made available to you in January, or you see this website:
