Process

Step 1: Assign the students groups and give each group member one of the four roles.   

These are the roles the teacher must assign to the students:

• Sport Investigator
• Architecture Investigator
• Art Investigator
• Religion Investigator

Step 2: Each student needs to complete his/her research, which will be guided by a handout. The teacher should allow 2-3 class periods for research.

Step 3: Instruct students to share their findings with the group.  What new information they learned, why it is important and how they could incorporate it into one article?

Step 4: Help groups as they analyze their findings and write the article. The teacher should allow 2 class periods for writing the article as a group.

Step 5: The final product will be presented to the class.   Each person presents their research to the class and is evaluated by the teacher.
