That user is most likely an 8 year-old kid from… United States? England? Japan? None of the above…most likely from countries that

unique new information will be generated worldwide this year.

In addition to your written letter to Aunt Sally, your group must choose one of the following activities to present to the class:
Brochure - Create a travel brochure urging people to move westward. Use the positive information you have compiled through your Web Quest. You must include at least 5 reasons why people should join the westward movement and examples of how people have benefited from moving out west in the past.
Debate - Divide your group in half. Have one half present the positive side of your person moving west. Have the other half present the negative side of the person moving west. Include the information from your web quest to support both sides your arguments.
Commercial - Create a story board and act out a commercial with your group telling and "selling" reasons why people should or should not move west. Include the information from your web quest to support your position.
