1. WebQuest This is based on my final learning experience, the Revolutionary War. Patrick Duffy

4. Collaborate in your groups to decide who will do which section of the project. The project will start with the research and data gathering as a team. Each team member will select a sub-area for their chosen topic. There are three main areas for sub-group work and two group collaborations. The final website will be created by the entire class.

5. Research Teams research sub-areas for each topic that you chose and place the information in Google Docs. Writing Two students should collaborate using Google Docs word processing to compile the research, wordsmith and complete references for the written part of the project. Spreadsheets Two students should collaborate using Google Docs spreadsheets to plot the timelines for the group’s topics. Use the research information provided by the entire team to develop the significant milestones.
