WOW MD! That is a huge project, no wonder you have been riding her about it. I bet there will be more than a few kids that don't get it all done, or at least only do a half hearted attempt. DS has only had two big projects - 1 in yr 1 and another in yr 2. We research together on the net etc because I don't want him trawling the internet on his own LOL. Then he tells me what he wants printed out and I went through and get the information out and wrote it in a way that was understandable for his age level, otherwise it would have looked to the teacher like he just wrote it word for word kwim? Then the rest is up to him. He wrote it all out, cut out pictures, or drew pictures/diagrams and then he stuck it all on himself. I think that my involvement was pretty minimal, as it should be I saw some of the other kids projects and you could tell who had their parents do the entire thing or did most of it. One parent did tell me once that she does the lot for them because she doesn't have time to waste helping them research a project and put it together! But he is in yr4 now and I think he is more than capable of dong a research project on his own now, but if it was something of the size that your DD is doing, then I would help a little bit
