1. Each person should study their role carefully. Then discuss with the group how you will collect  and organize your information.

2. Begin to collect the needed information about your civilization. Look back at the TASK for the list of facts you should be sure to include in your final exhibit.

3. Carefully keep a record of sites you have visited on the Web and text resources that you are using for your bibliography.

4. Analyze the web sites and information you are collecting. You might want to use the PROP technique you have learned for critical thinking. You may also want to read about how to evaluate web resources at http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/staffdev/tpss99/processguides/evaluating_student.html

5. Your final exhibit should include graphics as well as text. Determine which pictures would be the most helpful to your presentation. Remember that pictures also need appropriate references. Here is a site to help you evaluate picture resources:

6. Your entire group should come to consensus about the type of multimedia you plan to use to present your exhibit. (this page may help you collaborate http://projects.edtech.sandi.net/staffdev/tpss99/processguides/consensus.html)

7. Develop a plan for your multimedia presentation off-line. You may use an outline, a web, or even Inspiration.

8. Determine as a group who will be responsible for particular jobs as you create the multimedia presentation. Each member of the team should have a reasonable amount of work to contribute to the final project.

9. Check periodically with the Evaluation Matrix for this project to make sure you're covering the important aspects.
