You will be researching six of the seven wonders of the ancient world.  You will be taking fact/phrase notes on the 5 W’s:  what is this structure; where is it located; when was it built;  why was it built; who built or designed it; and also how was it built and what makes it unique.  You will also be creating a bibliography to give credit to the authors who wrote the online resources you use.  If your teacher asks you to use NoodleTools, look for the hints in ALL CAPITALS.  You can look at the bottom of articles in these databases to get help from their citation.
