We put various students' possible research topics and questions under the document camera and discussed them, with the aim of clarifying what makes a good topic and what Mr. Potratz in particular is looking for.

In periods 3, 4 and 6 Mr. Potratz also stressed Pacific Northwest Native art and culture as a rich vein to mine for topics and a field in which there are many resources in the Seattle area.
He told the class about his Thansgiving trip to the Anthropology Museum at UBC in Vancouver, and what he learned about Bill Reid, who Mr. Potratz thinks would be an excellent topic for a research paper.
