This wiki is an exploration of the history of race by Mr. Goldberg's 9th grade students at Cary Academy. Each student is exploring one aspect of race (click on the questions below). We'll be working on this page through February, 2010, but we should have significant progress made by Nov. 11. Here's a Washington Post article about [|Race in China], prompted by President Obama's upcoming visit to China.

Be sure to include an annotated bibliogrpahy that lists all of your sources (call it AnBibYourName, so mine would be AnBibGoldberg)

Once we have the content written for the interoir pages, we'll have some group of you write a snappy introduction that might include an image or two.

We'll also combine our annotated bibliography into one big bibliography, and we'll indicate whch sources we found most useful.

Have fun learning!
