Use this page to guide you on your Web journey. Your Wiki report includes the following

 * 2) Record and publish your team’s results on the Projects page (see link at left).
 * Wiki Report Guidelines:**
 * 1) Give a SUMMARY of your experience at the National Geographic site. What did you want to do? What did you need learn? Summarize the experience in 50-75 words.
 * 2) Record the basic information (who, what, when, where, etc). for the two most interesting of the three COURT RECORDS you read. Label each record, like #1, #2, and #3 followed by the actual name/title of the record. You should look for common aspects of questioning, giving testimony, and treatment of witnesses. Begin your summary for each record with “We read ___ (create link to it).” Then tell what you learned. Focus especially on aspects of testimony and giving evidence. How are people treated? What kind of evidence is given?
 * 3) What did you learn from the “ YOU ARE ACCUSED ” activity?
 * 4) List your two INQUIRY QUESTIONS and answer them.
 * 5) Add anything else that you discovered that you found interesting.
