Miss.Amar's Explorers Webquest; TVA Kids - We Won't Do This 2012 but you can
do part of it for extra credit.
This is the webquest , with some changes. Part 2, Research paper just
1/2 to 1 page, typed. Also add one of the visuals listed. Remember to include
a bibliography ( a list of books, websites, extra point if you follow Miss
Amar's pattern). We won't do part 3 (extra credit). Part 4, the
oral presentation, but try to keep it one to two minutes long. 6th grade has
an additional assignment.
