Process small medium large Note: Check out the evaluation rubric in the "Files for You" section of this WebQuest before you get started! 1. Choose one area about radiolarians to gather data on (each team member will research one area): Role #1: The “Rad” (Radiolarian) Expert Role #2: The Paleontology Expert Role #3: The Ecology Expert Role #4: The Art/History Expert 2. Now each team member goes to the link for their expert role. Print out the “Note Taking Guide” on your role page and use it to help you as you research. 3. Next visit the three websites that every team member must visit, which are included in your role page. Looking at these websites will: >> give you an overview of radiolarians. >> help you learn about the scanning electron microscope. If possible, view these websites with your team. 4. Now visit the websites linked to your role page that are just for you. Each team member is responsible for collecting data and images for their topic. Choose AT LEAST FOUR FACTS that will support your recommendation, and share them, along with AT LEAST THREE IMAGES, in the group meeting. NOTE: The slide presentation MUST include a list of sources used. See the SAMPLE SLIDE on the "Files for You" page for an example. Go to http://www.easybib.com for help in creating your bibliography. 5. Group Meets: You will now meet to share research, talk about evidence, and decide on your recommendation. First, team members meet and share what they learned in their research, including each person's 4 facts and 3 images. Next, each group member takes a turn as the moderator (and scribe) for discussions and decision-making. The moderator jots down ideas for all to see, taking in all opinions (see the IDEAS CHART linked on the "Files for You" page for one method of discussion). Evidence must be given to support positions on the funding question. The last portion of the meeting will be the time for the group to use these details to make their decision about what to recommend to Congress. 6. Together your group will decide how to organize your PowerPoint presentation. > You might have one or two slides for each of your areas of research, followed by a couple of slides about the group’s recommendation. > Alternatively, you may decide to organize all of your slides to directly follow your logical reasoning about your group’s recommendation. > What your group MUST do is decide who is responsible for which slides, and give out equal amounts of work to all. > The group needs to decide on a slide graphic format. SAMPLE SLIDES are provided on the "Files for You" page, but other slide formats may be used. 7. The group then presents the data and the group recommendation to Congress.
