Vacation Washington: Synthesizing

Synthesizing
Thinking about the best choice using the information you've gathered.

Discuss how the information you have gathered helps answer the smaller questions on your Note Sheet, as well as the larger guiding question for the project.

The research process does not go in a straight line. Most times you need to repeat some steps.

Go to your teacher with evidence that you have:

Enough information on each activity and region
Deleted unnecessary information
Selected useful information
Evaluated the information

Please open up Decision Making Sheet . (Print a copy or save as your teacher has instructed.) On this sheet you will record the region that you will visit for your vacation activity. You will explain why you a particular region, and what makes this region a better vacation stop than the other regions.
