  4. Task Magazine cover…put it here and then do text box over it to make the task. Table of Contents

  5. Task Task’ Time Magazine is trying to put together their annual “Person of the Year” issue. They are having some problems, though. They don’t know who to choose or what these people did. Can you help them figure out who to choose and why? Time Magazine wants you to choose a person from the list, research their life and major accomplishments, and put together an article on why you think that person should be “Person of the Year.” Table of Contents

  6. Roles In your writing groups, you will become an expert on one of the following people: George Washington Carver Wright Brothers Thomas Edison Alexander Graham Bell Teddy Roosevelt Table of Contents

  7. Process • On the next page, you will click on your “Man of the Era’s” name to learn more about them. • Gather the information to write the biography. Biography should include: • Year and place of birth and death • Five (5) details about their early life • Three (3) important achievements/inventions • Why you think this person should be “Man of the Era.” • 3. Make a “Connection to the Future” • -How did this person’s achievements and inventions make an impact on your life today. • -How would your life be different if the inventions were not created. • 4. Explain the “Look into their Life” in your magazine. • -You will be given some situations that your inventor might have dealt with. Solve the problem then explain in your magazine how you solved it and what your answer was. Table of Contents

  20. Teacher’s Page Teachers, I hope you find this Webquest to be engaging and educational for your students. I have worked hard to make sure that each person in this Webquest has been equally covered and that the activities the students are asked to complete are on the same level as their peers. I have adapted the process of getting everything done for this magazine into centers which I hope you will find helpful. This could be used in the case that your class doesn’t have a lot of computer access or if your class is already being run with centers involved. Feel free to take the centers out if you please. The rotation schedule is on the next slide. The center rotation is based on having 5 groups of about 4 students per group. Each block is set up into one hour blocks that will be rotated in 30-minute increments. This allows each group to rotate through the different stations and computers. The last 30-minute block on Thursday has also been made a make-up (mu) day. This will be used to complete work that wasn’t finished in the week, due to absences or having to rotate stations. I have also attached the rubric that I will be using with my students to evaluate their work on the magazine. Table of Contents

Animals fit into many classifications depending on the characteristics that they have. Animals are multi-cellular, breathe oxygen, have hair, and give birth to live young. Other types of species use gills to breathe, have feathers instead of hair or fur, and lay eggs. Click the link to play: “A Touch of Class” Table of Contents
