This is a research project created by  eighth grade information literacy students at Palos South Middle School in Palos Park, IL.  Students were required to research a topic of their choice relating to Illinois.  After evaluating both print and non print resources, the students created a web page.   Next, they were asked to create two to three questions for further exploration based on the information on their page.  Finally, their assessment was to visit a classmate's page and answer the questions.  That, in addition to the evaluation of the resources used, was the basis of their grade.
