= A Team Approach =

This was a team project and every team and support teacher contributed to the success of this project.

 * = ==** Discipline **== ||= ==** Activities **== ||
 * = ==** Social Studies **== || * Social Studies classes spent a week in the library learning about the research process and Middle Ages resources available in the CMS Library.
 * Each student was charged with the task of locating at least two relevant and reliable resources on their topic.
 * At the end of the project the Social Studies teacher checked student work for accuracy of information and image relevance to presented information. ||
 * = ==** Reading **== || * In Reading classes students read their articles for understanding and identification of the main ideas of the resources they had located.
 * They then created web graphic organizers in preparation for the writing component of this project.
 * The Reading teacher assessed notes and checked for evidence of plagiarism. ||
 * = == English == || * In English classes students composed and wrote their encyclopedia entry using Google Docs
 * Students then used NoodleBib to create citations for all works used.
 * The English teacher checked student writing for proper structure, grammatical format, and checked again for evidence of plagiarism. ||
 * = == Mathematics == || * In Math classes students learned about legal use of multi-media online resources (including how to identify works in the Creative Commons domain)
 * Students also learned about graphic image manipulation and how to cite webpages.
 * Students were charged with the task of finding a "legal to use" image that complemented their Medieval topic and added a citation for this resource to their NoodleBib citation page.
 * The Mathematics teacher checked Image resources for "Legal Use" ||
 * = == Science == || * In Science classes students used technology skills to create wiki page.
 * Students moved their paragraphs from Google Docs into the wiki.
 * They moved their bibliographic citations from NoodleBib into the wiki.
 * They also inserted their images onto their wiki page and added captions to the image.
 * The Science teacher checked each wiki page for proper format and evaluated student technology skills according PA Standards. ||
