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)= //(Copy and paste the big understanding(s) you have listed in your unit for Dr. Grace. What are the academic goals for the unit (which will also be the purpose of the WebQuest).)//
 * Goal || To design and build a structurally sound bridge using their knowledge of Lines, Angles and Triangles. ||
 * Role || Architects ||
 * Audience || The Mayor and The City Counsel ||
 * Setting || A bridge leaving Smalltown Maine collapsed and you are a contestant competing to create a new one. ||
 * Presentation || Design a structurally sound bridge and then build a miniature of that bridge using your blueprints. ||
 * Angles, Lines and Triangles are elements in problems that occur in real life.
 * Triangles, Lines and Angles foundations that Geometry builds upon.

=Introduction= News-break: The Meyer bridge has collapsed! The only bridge leading out of Smalltown Maine is now the Packer bridge located on the south end of town. The traffic is piling up and accidents are becoming more and more common. The Mayor and the city counsel have decided that action needs to be taken. Smalltown Maine needs a new bridge, are you going to be the architect for the job?

=Task= One of the bridges leaving Smalltown Maine collapsed a week ago and the Mayor has been looking for an architect to create a new one. You are an architect and you really want this job, not just because you will be paid a lot, but because if your design is chosen you get to name the bridge anything you want. Naturally, you are not the only architect in Smalltown Maine and others want the job too. The only problem is you have to get your design approved by the city counsel. The counsel decided that the only fair was to choose a design was to have a contest to see who's bridge would be more structurally sound (so not to repeat the problems with the last bridge). The contestants (that's you) need to create a design, bring it to the counsel for approval and then build a miniature with which they will prove their design can support weight. The miniature that supports the most weight wins. The architect(s) that designed and built the winning miniature get the job and get to name the bridge anything he/she/they want.

=Conclusion= Congratulations, you are now in the running to be the head architect on the new bridge project. You successfully created a blueprint, to scale, for a new bridge design that will lead out of Smalltown Maine. All the angles are measured, the scales are perfect, all the properties were used and now you just have to wait! While the Mayor consults with the city counsel you can think about all the properties you used to contribute to all the hard work you did. All of these bridges are great, but there is only one place for a new bridge, and everyone in Smalltown Maine is itching with excitement.
