Process: Each student will be assigned an area to research. You will be the only person in your group investigating the specific content that you are responsible for.  There is a student worksheet you should use to record your research information.  Follow the website links below to find the information that has been assigned to your expert role.  Investigate all the links that are related to your area.  You will need to prepare the information in the form of a well written report.  You should practice your oral presentation until it can be delivered smoothly and fluently.

 These roles should require true cooperation so that one person working alone could not complete the task. To do this, you may want to have students assigned to each role visit different Web sites or have them view the same Web sites from an alternative perspective or with a different focus in mind.
