Process



//You will gather as much information as possible about each planet. You will keep a dated journal which all of the information will be put into. You will be given all week to gather information. The final day of this week will be spent with your group members, putting all of your valuable information together. Each member has a role, and therefore each person must do their own share of research. You must find as much as you can while researching by yourself. You will be gathering information which you think is the most important for each planet. (Hints below).//
 * location of planet
 * size of planet
 * seasons (if any)
 * surface of planet
 * color of planet
 * interesting facts

//This list is just a few of the many possibilities for each planet. I expect you to search more than three sites for gather this information. Since not all sites are trustworthy, using multiple sites will make sure that you get a variety of answers.// //Then, you will gather all of your group's information. I do not want a long list of information; I want you to put the information into paragraph form. This will be easier for you if you title paragraphs with similiar information, such as planet names, same topics, etc. I will demonstrate what I mean in class. If you need any help with this part of the project, I will help guide you. You are encouraged to work on this project after school with all of the members in your group. When working in groups, you will be able to share information and decide what is most important to you, as a group.

This project will be evaluated by your group members, your classmates, and a couple of teachers from other schools. It will be graded according to the evaluation sheet on the page below. Please try your best to keep your journals neat and orderly.//
