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.) Then you will write your first drafts of your Introduction 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 of your unit (Stage 2). Note that you don't need the Standards part, though you can include it if you want.)// =Understanding(s)=

=Introduction=

=Task= The American History Museum is in desperate need of an exhibit detailing the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. How exactly did Germany get divided into two? Where exactly does Israel fit into all of this? As the world renowned historian, the museum has turned to you and your colleagues to create an exhibit. You have spent your entire lifetime gathering knowledge for this particular task. You will use the information you have learned about the influence of American democracy in Europe, the role of key figures such as Stalin and Eisenhower, and your understanding of the conflict between the US and the USSR. Though you are known worldwide and are quite brilliant, the museum director and curator are a skeptical pair and will need to review the exhibit before it is set up for public viewing. You must create a movie that succinctly covers the events of the reconstruction in Europe. The exhibit could detail political, economic, or social changes. The museum is leaving the choice of topic up to your creative decisions but you are encouraged (maybe even required) to meet with another historian and get his opinion on your topic. In addition, the movie should be interesting and accessible enough for museum viewers to be able to stand and watch.

=Conclusion= //Dear Famous Historian,//
