Process
Get Ready, Get Set, Travel across Texas!
You will work individually on your best region of Texas WebQuest. You will have a total of four days to complete the project. Two days are for exploring the resources in the pathfinder and completing the 4 regions organizer and Venn diagram. You will have two additional days for working on your web 2.0 tool project and preparing for your final presentation.
1) Print off the "4 regions" organizer below before you start to explore the resources. Once it is printed off, write your name at the top.
2) Click on the Texas regions pathfinder and explore any of the links provided to help you gather all the information about the four regions of Texas. Refer to the task tab to guide you what characteristics of the regions you are looking for. Remember to fill out all sections of the 4 regions organizer using note making format and to cite using MLA format where you found your information. You can use Easybib.com to help you with citing.
3) Print off the Texas regions Venn diagram below. Use your 4 regions organizer to help you find similarities and differences between your two chosen regions. Remember to get all points on the rubric you need to fill in all 12 parts of the Venn diagram.
4) It is now time to rank your regions on your 4 regions organizer. Refer to the task to see how to rank them from best to least best.
5) Create a final product using a web 2.0 tool to advocate the best region of Texas. You may select Glogster, Prezi, or Popplet to present characteristics from your chosen region. Remember to check for spelling and grammatical errors and to make excellent use of the tool's features such as font, color, graphics, etc. Click on the selected web 2.0 tool below to start your project:
6) Prepare for your final presentation. Refer to the rubric to help guide you what features you will need to make a successful presentation to the class and the influential leaders.
