Step 1 - The first thing you will need to do in your group is decide which
role each person is going to play. Some of your roles may be decided by the
teacher.
Step 2 - Once this is decided, go to your individual role pages to get
further instructions and links to information. As you work on your role, you
will have to keep notes of your information.
Remember to think about what kinds of information you need to have to
complete the task:
- What do you need to know to answer your guiding questions?
- What do you need to know to complete the "Amazing Brain" informational
packet? What information do you need for your notesheets?
Use the following links to refresh your thinking about taking notes.
You may want to use mind mapping techniques. Feel free to keep your notesheets
using cluster maps or the Cornell notetaking system. Remember to put write
your notes in your own words. (Notesheets provided by the teacher.)

Step 3 - When your group has collected notes, gather to create the
information packet. Work together as a group to build the packet of
information. There may be some choice involved when deciding what to produce
as an information packet. See your teacher for help or ideas. Be sure to
look at the Evaluation page of this webquest.
Step 4 - When your information packet is complete, brainstorm ideas for your
info-merical. Plan or script the info-mercial, create props if necessary,
rehearse, etc. Be sure to look at the Evaluation page of this webquest.
Step 5 - See your teacher for a schedule of group meetings, work deadlines,
feedback, etc.
GOOD LUCK!

and the "Amazing Brain" people
