OTHER POINTS:
~ All information gathered in the course of these “missions” must be sited correctly using Noodletools (Mrs. McNally will be in on the grading for this). This applies to your profile sheet, additional facts, essays, powerpoints, or comics.
~ These “missions” will be assigned one at a time throughout as I/we teach the unit so everyone has the chance to earn a maximum score, BUT, YOU CANNOT MOVE ON UNTIL YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED EACH
~ All necessary information and instructions for completing this project can be found both here within this packet and on my Taskstream project page (Thus the Webquest title). From there you can link to the online textbook, library databases, shared documents, and resources. In this way you have a choice of completing all of this online, or offline utilizing the packet and products you hand in to me.
~ While I encourage you to help each other research and gather information this is an INDIVIDUAL project!
Good Luck and BE CAREFUL! Spying can be dangerous ; )
Mr. Kimball,
Mission Commander
