1. INTERSTATE PROJECT
During this project you will research where the nation's traffic congestion problems are most evident. Throughout this process, your groups will study major interstates throughout the country to identify the geographical challenges of the land and the economic factors that may play a role as you decide where to place new interstates. You will create your new interstate on Google Maps and display images of various towns and physical characteristics that may be involved in the construction. The following is an example of a student Map and all other resources and materials will be found on Edmodo.

1. EARLY CIVILIZATION
We have been studying the life and history of Latin America since before Christmas. This month we are finishing up a Early Civilization of Latin America Webquest. The webquest is linked into Edmodo; however, I have uploaded 3 scaffolding sheets for you as you are working through the webquest. I have also included a webquest evaluation form for any website other than the given ones that you might want to use. Within the webquest, you will find rubrics and checklist for grading. Lastly, I have included a United Streaming video over the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas.
