1.+Where+in+the+World?

** Where in the World? **  In this activity, you will travel the world with the esteemed explorer, Mrs. Waffenschmidt. She will be leaving you clues about her location through her travel journal. Your job is to find all the locations using the clues that have been given to you. Then, as a group, you will design a Google Earth tour highlighting the part of the journey you are exploring.  ** Part 1: Deciphering the Clues ** 1. You will be broken down into groups 2. As a group, you will be assigned a set of clues 3. Download these clues to your computer 4. You have less than one class period to figure out all the clues - you can use any resource you have available in order to figure out the location 5. Download the below document and record location results. __Each group member must have his/her own completed copy in order to receive credit for this assignment__.

After you have been assigned a group and set of clues, download the appropriate .pdf file and save it to your computer. You may print it out or simply use it as an electronic reference. As a reminder, keep a list of locations, so you can create your Google Tour. You will also be asked to provide an excerpt from the clue as part of your presentation, so do not discard that information.
