This, if I don't have a recent timed typing test on record for you, we'll be taking a quick timed-typing tests. Those students who are typing fewer than 20 words per minute will spend the rest of class working on Type to Learn.
For those of you who type more than 20 words per minute, we'll pack our bags, and begin to plan a week-long visit to Uganda. This will take quite a bit of research, and over the course of the project we'll discuss what makes a website credible, or dependable... and how to cite our web-based research using Noodlebib.
First, you'll hunt for some basic information about Uganda, and fill out a fact sheet located in your network folder.
Next, plan your week. I have given you a list of links of companies who plan family vacations in Uganda, and organizations that do volunteer work there. Explore the websites, and decide how you would spend a week. I don't want you to plan everything from one website, but use at least three.
You'll need to tell me day-by-day what you plan to do (filling out a chart in your network folder) and plot your travels on a map.
And at the end of your research, you'll create a Power Point presentation to describe your adventure.
