Team Collaboration
Heather had worked on the thinkquest competition last year. She became the group leader, helping new students. Emily was also involved last year and many of the students looked to her for help with grammar and other editing. Anthony created the games. Andrew found some clipart for the website. Randal worked diligently to research specific areas. All team members did research, summarized the information for particular subsections of the website, and created their own citations.
Team Diversity
Students used both books and internet sources, focusing on sources from 2005 or newer. Two students participated in the thinkquest competition last year, while the other three did not. Four of the students are eighth graders and one is in seventh grade.
