You will be divided into three separate groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. Each separate group will do their own research on different content that will be assigned specifically to each section. After careful review, smart research, and group collaboration, you will share what you were able to find on the web with your fellow classmates in a small group presentation. Each group will follow a set of research guidelines provided below to help guide the research process. The goal is for you to learn different things about Oktoberfest and present the knowledge of facts learned to your classmates. With everyone researching something slightly different, there will be an opportunity for you to educate your fellow classmates on the content that they were not given to research themselves. Thus, the learning comes full circle at the end. Good luck! Remember that it is your job to only use my questions as a guideline for your content. Go above and beyond what is required of you and delve deep into the research process!

  • How is Oktoberfest celebrated, not just in Germany, but all over the world?
