Task+and+Directions


 * __TASK__**
 * In a small group, you will work to create a section of a collaborative online textbook on the Watergate scandal.
 * Along with a small team, you will oversee a select portion of the online textbook, providing edits, oversight, and guidance for others' work.
 * You will conduct an in-depth investigation of a specific date or person connected to the scandal and share your findings (in the form of text, images, video, slideshows, etc. as you see fit) in the form of an online textbook or website on our classroom wiki.

__**DIRECTIONS**__ 1. Pick group 2. Read overview information (Washington Post / ABC-Clio database) provided through links. 3. Select topics. I will be assigning each group a topic (dates or people). 4. We will be in the library for two days this week. Be sure the divide up the work so that we are not duplicating efforts. Have a plan within your group to cover the necessary material. 5. For each chapter you must have the following information included: A. For each date you must include the following information: i. What took place on the date? ii. What individual person, people, or groups were involved? iii. How were the event(s) connected to the scandal? (illegal act? / cover-up? / investigation?) B. For each person you must include the following information: i. What was the person’s position / profession? ii. What role did the person play in the scandal? iii. What happened to this person as a result of the scandal? (arrested? / resigned?) 6. Included multiple visuals – including maps, documents, photos, and videos that are relevant and appropriate. All visuals should have captions. 7. The layout for your chapter is totally up to you but it should be professional, appropriate and appealing to the eye. 8. Must keep a bibliography for information used. FYI – Working with the wiki is very similar to working with Microsoft word, however, there are some formatting and style limitations if you type directly onto the wiki page. You may find it helpful to type your text on Microsoft word and cut and paste it into the wiki after the fact!
