Activities

English Take a look at the Declaration of the RIghts of Man (French Revolution) and the Declaration of Independence. Analyze the two and give me a quick summary of each - what basic ideas or attitudes are different between the two? Give me a 3-5 point comparison/contrast of the 2 documents.

Math

Research Jefferson's scientific work, and list at least 3 areas in which he was interested. Define what those areas are, and why they were/are of scientific imporatance.
Misc.

Charles Darwin changed the way many people viewed man's origin. What area of the world most strongly inspired his ideas? What did he see there that started his theories? Briefly discuss his theories in light of their origins - what did he NOT observe in the evolutionary process, but theorized could happen? Why did he make that guess? (If you choose this project, as with many others, you may not find "pat" answers by doing research, you may actually have to think *gasp* and justify your own theories.)
