The Westward Expansion - Myth v. Fact:  Research Project

1. you have been assigned to teams of two based on performance data from our first on-line exercise (the barbwire flag writings)
- starting closest to the door and moving around the room, you are sitting next to your partner; introduce yourselves (if you haven't yet) and shake hands; you'll be working together until at least mid-term.  (Adjustments are possible and may be necessary but not for a few weeks.)

2. teams are numbered; VERY IMPORTANT to get your Team Number and remember it (write it down)
--- before we leave, choose who will be Researcher A and who will be Researcher B

3. 8:20 we leave for the computer lab across from the library - don't get lost!

4. Sit side by side with your partner; both have computers

5. log in and open an internet browser - I'll give you this period's URL

6. Both partners on their own computers open the numbered team folder;

7. Read the instructions, begin the exeercise.
NOTE:  EACH TEAM IS RESEARCHIING FROM A DIFFERENT DOCUMENT.
SUGGESTION:  each student should open your G-docs worksheet template on one tab -- open your research doc on another tab - you'll need to go back and forth

8. we'll get as far as we can today.  Finish this as homework from home or library computer.  We'll ck in monday briefly for progress reports.  Completed project due at beginning of class Thurs. 9/26.
