Background+Information+for+Everyone-TASK

First, you will be required to break up into groups of four. All students are required to open the links and view the videos. Each group will add notes from the articles and the videos to the graphic organizer. All groups will combine their notes to work on a master graphic organizer. Your notes will help you contribute to the voicethread. This activity will enable everyone to gather as much information as possible and gain a deeper understanding of Theodore Roosevelt and Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York.

Next you will participate in a Voicethread and demonstrate your knowledge and express your opinion. Choose an icon and speak clearly as your ideas will be heard by others.

Then you will be required to construct a letter stating three reasons why you think the museum should or should not be built.

Lastly, you will be required to create a collaborate media project representing the two groups. One group will consist of the students who think the Teddy Roosevelt Museum should be built in downtown Oyster Bay. The second group will consist of the students who think that building the Teddy Roosevelt Museum should not be built in downtown Oyster Bay.
