Description: Your Project Proposal is an opportunity for each team to submit their preliminary ideas for their class project, and receive feedback before finalizing their Project Contract. In this class, you will be identifying an example of conflict resolution in your region. The example can be historical or contemporary. You will be gathering information from various sources, which could include: oral histories, interviews, digitized documents, audio or video material, digitized photographs, other information from websites or historical archives. Teams are free to do their own investigation or information gathering. Your project will be in the form of a website that displays all of your material, along with a narrative or analysis of the conflict you have chosen, the resolution strategies demonstrated, and the impact these strategies had on the communities involved. Your research proposal should contain the following information:
