[QUOTE="Martie, post: 32710, member: 284"] I have taught history. In general, it is better to have the type of structure you mention. "Use the similarities and dissimilarities between the Roman system of government and the American form of government." This might REALLY appeal to a kid on the spectrum. I would make columns for the headers that are required and then start collecting facts (with the citation attached so it can be found later.) After a number of entries are recorded, it is fairly easy to construct a thesis and go from there. With all due respect to Jarrod's suggestions, I do not think that satire would work for either the student or the teacher in this case. MrNo got in over his head on Global Warming last fall in terms of reading a dozen (conflicting) internet sites and got so confused he couldn't think about how to approach the problem. An outline of pros and cons for all the things that are being predicted helped him get organized. After he had an outline, it was fine. Best of luck, Martie [/QUOTE]
