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 will understand that...// // •there is a difference between the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the Civil Rights Act. // // •rights are very important and how they are protected // // •the context and cause for the Bill of Rights and the Civil Rights Act is similar to what is happening currently in the middle east and Africa. //
 * Goal || The task is to make a PSA commercial that explains the rights and benefits of being a U.S. Citizen to immigrants. ||
 * Role || A newscaster who is reporting on said benefits. ||
 * Audience || The clients are the USCIS--the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and your audience is immigrants. ||
 * Setting || The challenge involves expressing the benefits and the rights in a simple way so that ESL learners will be able to understand. ||
 * Presentation || You will great a PSA to educate immigrants on citizenship. ||

=Introduction= //(Set the stage, give us any background info that we might need to know (but just a hint), this is your HOOK. Provide a segue to the Task . . . make your reader want to click to the next section. There should be nothing that sounds like school work in this section. Don't give away what's going to happen in the Task.)//

//Many Americans go about their lives never really thinking about the benefits of being a U.S. Citizen, or the rights that protect them day to day. Through this WebQuest, you will be shining a light on these benefits. Visit the Task page to start!// //But these protections are important, and we should really spend some time getting to know what they are, that way we can use them to protect ourselves.//

=Task= //You are a top newscaster at NBC, and the United States Customs and Immigration Services (the USCIS) has asked your news team to create a PSA commercial that will air on many networks. This commercial must discuss the benefits of naturalization, particularly the rights gained as a U.S. Citizen, in a professional, educational, and persuasive way. Focus on the rights of individuals promised within the Constitution. This commercial must be simple enough for English language learners to understand, since this commercial is advertising towards immigrants. If your commercial qualifies, a payment of $25,000 will be made to your team.//

=Conclusion= //(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)//

//Our rights as citizens should be very important to us. We are active members of our government in one way or another (whether it be by paying taxes, voting, expressing activism, or running for office), and in return for this we are provided these protections. Feel free to go a step further by educating others or by being an active member in your community and voting! Every bit counts!//
