​Overview:  The goal of this project is for students to select and explore a historical invasion that took place anywhere in the world.  Students will research and learn about the invasion while also digging deeper to uncover the ecological impacts that resulted from the invasion.  They will then use their research to develop a documentary covering the historical context as well as writing a graphic novel depicting scenes from the invasion and ecological transformations that resulted.  The documentaries,  graphic novels, and student presentations will be the backbone of our spring academic exhibition on April 16, 2020 at 6pm.
