PURE HUMAN:
made of flesh and blood
ROBOT HUMAN:
made of machine, flesh, and oil
Greetings, Pure Human Historians:
It is the year AD 2628. Books, newspapers, letters, and all other paper
information from & of specific periods in history have been lost. Human Robots burnt them in what was known as
the most devastating fire in Pure Human history. It is now your job, as both Detectives and
Historians, to research about these historical periods of planet Earth. After your thorough investigation and
research, each of you must create a Power Point slide show. Your Power Point must be able to give your
viewers knowledge about their past with pictures and writings. It is mandatory that a TIMELINE
is included in your Power Point.
Be
careful, and make the Pure Human race proud.

CONCLUSION:
This webquest will help students
to links events and pictures via a Timeline. In addition, the webquest
as a power point presentation will be highly effective because of the
sufficient visual aids that the presentation will provide. Each student will focus on a specific topic,
and then present his/her topic to the class—helping their classmates understand
each topic in-depth.
