Here's
what you need to do:
- Print out a blank copy of the Search
or work with two open screens (see below).
- Use
Encarta
online encyclopedia to find the answers. Read the
articles, look at photos, watch videos, hear some of the people featured speak in their own words, and
listen to some music.
- Record your answers on paper
(or you can keep two screens up while you are working).
- Then submit your answers to
the Search online.
- Print out your results and
hand them in. You do not need to hand in your paper answer sheet. Your teacher will tell
you the due date.
►You may do the Search as many times as you wish, but
only your first try counts in the
Top
20 Results.
