Assignment:
Step One: Gather facts and information from
the sites above and from the pages on the Yukon Territory and the
Iditarod. Copy and paste notes to an MSWord document
called "Alaska/Yukon/Iditarod Informative Report Notes."
Please include bibliography information on your notes page for each site
from which you obtain information: author,
title of web page,
publisher/business, URL (web address), copyright or date last updated,
and your date of access (the date you found the information). Save this in your
network folder.
Step Two:
Make an informal outline of your report. Copy and
paste the outline form below to a blank Word document, then fill it in.
Save it in your network folder under "Alaska/Yukon/Iditarod Outline."

Then on another blank document, turn your outline and
your notes into a an informative report from 300 to 500 words, about Alaska,
the Yukon, the Iditarod and their histories. There is no "copy and paste" allowed here. Use

and then edit/revise by hand. Make changes on your document, and print a
final draft. Please include
at least one photo in your final document.

paste your final report with the pictures to your Personal Magazine
