Resources
For each section of your vacation webquest, I've provided resources below. Click on the links for the web sites listed.
Please also note that we will spend 3 class periods in the computer lab where you can work on this webquest. Discussing and getting help with your project from other students is encouraged. I will be in the lab, as well, to help and answer questions.
On the day of presentations, the following will be available in the classroom to support your presentation:
- Computer (you can bring a flash drive or email your presentation to yourself to access online)
- Smart board to use as a projector for your presentation.
- CD player, should you decide to accompany with music.
