Timeline:

February 2- topic choice

February 3-March 5 basic research

March 8-26 construct complex question or theme

March 29-April 9 complex question research and visual aids

*Dates are subject to change

Students have completed their basic research and are researching their complex questions. It is time to think about visual aids (anything we use to teach our audience about our topic) and making a product decision. Product decisions are due APRIL 9TH. Visual aids, products and flip grids will all be made at home this year. Visual aids, products and flip grids (see link below) are due April 26th. QUEST Fair will be virtual this year using our flipgrids.

Here are some options for visual aids:

-collage (foamboard is a good choice)

-magazine

-brochure

-their google slides turned into a presentation with pictures, transitions and polished up with correct grammar, etc.

I'm open to other ideas that students share with me.

Products should be QUEST quality and answer their complex question in a way that shows depth of thinking, planning and significant effort. Here is a link to product examples: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1uyiejOkhQzWdmGpdHoodpSr72vXA1nwpCepNGLSLRJk/edit?usp=sharing

Students can work on the following here at school (or zoom meetings with me):

-research

-planning visual aids and products

-citing sources

-finding pictures and loading them in a google doc

-planning their presentation

-getting help from me on ANYTHING
