Q1 Fire Rescue

Introduction

Your task for this Quest is to use a technology tool to create a graphic organizer and brainstorm solutions and create a plan for organizing a relief effort to help a family who has lost their home.

I Can Statements

• create a graphic organizer
• use a graphic organizer to brainstorm a project or presentation

To explore your solution, apply a problem-solving strategy of Who-What-Where-When-Why-How.

Sample planning items might include: 

• who would attend
• what the event would be
• when it would occur
• where it will be held
• why are you having the event
• how will you organize the supplies/people/funds                                             

To be successful in this task, you will need to consider everything from activities, supplies, food, clothing and volunteers that are needed. Start by experimenting with the formatting tools within the graphic organizer. Try out the different digital features for color and text as you organize your ideas.

Tutorials are provided in the steps below.

At the conclusion you will need to create an image capture (screen shot) and save it to your File Space to submit or share with your teacher.
