| Brainstorm |
Open the
dossier for your role by clicking on the appropriate role above. Read the contents of the
dossier to get a feel for your tasks. Analyze how your role relates to the other members
on the panel. Brainstorm a list
of the types of resources/information that you think would be useful to gain your insights
on cloning.
Explore the "Resources" below
(as well as any available at headquarters - i.e., the Library) to see which might match
with your brainstormed list.
Note the name of the internet/classroom
resources next to your brainstormed list.

| Assign group tasks |
Each member in
the group must be responsible for more than one task. Review the tasks below and determine
who will be responsible for the task. |
|
Team Leader |
will be the
main contact for the teacher |
|
Internet
Research Team |
will find
artifacts on the internet. It is helpful if these students have access to the internet at
home. |
|
Library
Research Team |
will search
through newspapers, journals and texts for artifacts. |
|
Writing Team |
will do all
the writing for the team. Access to a word-processing program at home is a good idea. |
|
Presentation
Engineer |
will learn
Power Point or construct posters, overheads and lecture notes. |
|
Presenters |
will present
the team's findings to the senate sub-committee. |
| Cyberspace Investigation Hints |
Explore the
resources that you think would be most appropriate for your branch. Collect (Copy &
Paste) the five artifacts (picture or text) that you think represent the topic you are
exploring. Remember to keep track of the URL (the code that appears in the
"Location" line in the browser) For each artifact, make sure you know why you
believe it is a good example for the topic. Fill out the synopsis form. Once you have
finished your search, choose the best artifacts for your topic.
|
| Group Consensus |
As a team, you
must discuss, persuade, argue, deal, and brainstorm an plan of attack. You will not all
agree on the best way to present your research to the senate sub-committee, but you must
reach a consensus. You must agree to disagree, and find the best solution. |
| Your Special Report |
It is your job
to argue your perspective effectively. If you choose to do a Power Point presentation, it
is your responsibility to make sure the program will work before the day of the special
sub-committee reports. If you are not using Power Point, you may create a butcher paper
mural, or you may choose to create a video project. Be creative. |
