Colorado History

1. Pre-writing-make a column on your paper of things you already know about Colorado history on the left and what you want to learn about on the right. As you complete this webquest you may find that some of the information that you had learned previously was false. If this does occur make note of it and write an additional list of misconceptions that you may have had prior to this and discovered throughout the journey.

2. Since you are going to become a historian on Colorado history, you will need to become familiar with all aspects of Colorado history including history, geography, economics, and civics of the state. Find 5 things that you want to learn under each of the four categories and research them.

3. Once all the research is collected you need to write a paper about what you have learned. Since you have already done your pre-writing you can start with your first draft. Then you will revise your paper and have peers review it as well. After the revising stage then you will edit your paper and look for grammatical errors you may also have a peer look for these errors. Then rewrite your paper as a final draft. This paper should be 2-3 pages long. Make sure that you site your sources and include a bibliography page as well.

4. Create a work of art of your choice. This will be up to your imagination of what you have learned.  Make sure to give a description of your picture at the bottom of what it is and why you chose to draw it.

5. With a group of people 3-4 come up with lyrics to a familiar tune of what you have learned about Colorado. You will upload these to the webquest in a word document and they will be evaluated from there.
