What?! We're Moving?! Don't forget your task! The president has decided to move the capital of our country to the Northeast Region of the US. You are the student representatives who will convince the President that your state is the one! ||
 * You and your partner will follow the steps below to complete this web quest.

1. Open Kidspiration and start a new page to collect and organize your research.

2. Create a "Works Cited" page.

3. Go to the Resources Page of this web quest and click on LIVEBINDER. This is where you will find most of the information you will need.

4. In LIVEBINDER, click on the NORTHEAST ENVIRONMENT tab to learn some general information about the Northeast Region. (Record your research and cite your sources in Kidspiration.)

5. Next, go to the STATES tab in LIVEBINDER. Find the state that you have been assigned, and navigate the page to choose what issues you will use to convince the president. You may choose any or all of the following; Check out the link called ROADSIDE AMERICA. It shows famous landmarks and oddities in that state. It's fun! (Record your research and cite your sources in Kidspiration.)
 * FAMOUS PEOPLE
 * HISTORY, MAPS
 * MUSEUMS
 * TRAVEL AND WEATHER
 * THE ECONOMY (agricultural and industry)

6. Add information to your Kidspiration organizer gathered from class VoiceThreads as well as your Skype session with the state representative. Remember to cite your sources.

7. You will now need media for your PREZI. Using the workspace created for you in Britannica, find photographs, maps, diagrams, video, and other graphics that best convey your reasons for persuading the president to choose your state. Store these in an iPhoto Album labeled with the name of your state. Remember to cite your sources.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">8. Create a 5 minute PREZI and share it with the class. What did you learn that was significant about your state that would make the President take notice? Why would that add to the importance of your state? Your presentation can be serious and funny. You might argue for the rich history of your state, the sports teams, winter activities, seashore in summer, location, unusual landmarks. Think about the different kinds of geography in your state--would that be appealing too? How about your state's location? Why would that matter?

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Don't forget to click on the GAMES tab. There is a GAMES PAGE for each of the eleven states. It is here to entertain and maybe you can pick up some more facts for your PREZI. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The MORE GAMES tab takes you to more play areas about interesting places in the region.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Congratulations! You are done! ||
