Resources/materials needed: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;"> (include books, internet sites, props, technology tools such as document camera, etc.) <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://www.paulinepatera.com/webquest/index.html

Each will have some writing, some research and all will be dependent on knowledge gained throughout the week. They will also be required to depend on each other and collaborate.
