This is a worksheet that I made to help the students locate pertinent information for their PowerPoints. The students used search engines on both Google and Yahoo. This is a 4-Square writing method worksheet that I made for students to categorize facts about their explorers by entering information into the four quadrants. This is the PowerPoint template for organizing facts from the 4-Square worksheet. After the 4-Square work was done, I showed the students this Jeopardy PowerPoint to model how to create question and answer slides. Farfel Jackson is a fictitious student. This is the blank Jeopardy PowerPoint template that each student downloaded to their laptops for creating their own presentations. I created a short URL address using http://www.tinyurl.com. I wrote the URL on the board, which directed the students to a page on my Wiki Space. This enabled them all to simultaneously download the PowerPoint template to their laptops. Students were placed in groups, matched up with other students who researched the same explorer.
