In order to make sure that your WebQuest stays aligned with your unit, you will need to copy and paste 3 things from your Stages 1 and 2 from Dr. Grace's wiki onto this page. (This will also help Dr. Theresa give you better feedback on your Intro, Task, and Conclusion.)

=G.R.A.S.P.S= //( Feel free to copy and paste what you have on your wiki page for Dr. Grace for the GRASPS portion. Note that you don't need the Standards part, though you can include it if you want.)// =Understanding(s)= Students understand that:
 * Goal || Students will understand the functions of the left and right side of the brain, which side they lean toward, and how they can use this information to be more successful in and outside of school. ||
 * Role || Employee at a an advertising company ||
 * Audience || Panel of advertisers and representatives for Mattel ||
 * Setting || Advertising company is holding a contest within the company to decide who gets to present the workings of the right and left side of the brain in a TV commercial for Mattel ||
 * Presentation || Choice of Prezi, drawing, paper, or model ||
 * the left side of the brain controls mathematical functions and organization-oriented functions, while the right side of the brain controls language and creativity.
 * people who are right-brained tend to do things with less planning and be more creative and language-oriented, while people who are left-brained tend to plan things more carefully with more planning and be more math-oriented.
 * one can use their knowledge of their brain functioning in order to build upon their strengths and weaknesses in order to strengthen their own abilities.

=Introduction= So, you're already an expert on your multiple intelligences. You have proven your ability to understand where your strengths lie and to understand how that can help you to be successful here at Mt. Blue High School and far beyond these walls. Now it's time to move on to bigger and better things: you will be looking into another theory of self-knowledge and brain functions- the functions of the left and right hemisphere of the brain, and where your strengths lie within it, in order to create an advertisement for Mattel toys. If you do well, you could be the next big advertiser. Are you the person for the job?

=Task= You are just starting out at an advertising firm. Your firm has been asked to create an advertisement showing the workings of the left and the right sides of the brain in order to launch a new line of children's toys for Mattel. In order to come to the best advertisement possible and be able to continue advertising for this toy line, your company has set up a contest. The requirements are that you make some form of presentation which uses both sides of your brain, tells about which hemisphere is dominant for you, outlines your strengths and weaknesses, and describes how you could use all of this knowledge to help you succeed both in and out of your job in advertising. Your presentation may be a Prezi, a drawing, a paper, or a model. If your presentation is the winner, you will get to lead the commercial for Mattel!

=Conclusion= Now that you are experts on left and right brain functions and how to apply your strengths to your own lives, it's time to use that to prove and improve your abilities! With any luck, you'll be moving on to create the commercial for Mattel toys! Use your self-knowledge to empower yourself, and you could be the next big designer, advertiser, or inventor!
