Whitman Mission Web Quest |
|
The Task Many people have heard of the Whitman Mission but not many people realize the significant role it played in the history of Washington State. You will be placed in a group of three for this project. Your group's job will be to write a 2-4 page research paper that outlines the history of the Whitman's and their mission. You will also create a time line that shows the significant events taking place in their lives. Finally, after your research is complete, you will be asked to make a brochure for the National Parks Service. This brochure will be given to travelers who visit the mission and should summarize your research. |
