Thing+2+Fire+&+Rescue

==  ==

 ** Introduction **
== Your task for this quest is to rescue a family from the ruins of their former home by organizing a relief effort. You must create a visual map of your ideas using a graphic organizer tool. Gliffy, Popplet and bubbl.us are great options to choose from. Brainstorm ideas on how you could help this family with a fundraising event. When you plan, you need to think about the Who-What-Where-When-Why-How? ==

 Sample planning items might include:

 * 1) 

 who would attend

 * 1) 

 what the event would be

 * 1) 

 when it would occur

 * 1) 

 where it will be held

 * 1) 

 why are you having the event

 * 1) 

 how will you organize the supplies/people/funds

Experiment with the formatting tools within the graphic organizer for visual appeal. Try out the color and text features. == ==<span style="color: #738b00; font-family: avenirRoman,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You will need to create an image capture (screen shot) and save it to your File Space. Check with your teacher to find out where to submit your assignment. ==

Steps:

1. We will watch a video on how to use bubbl.us. If you choose one of the other graphic organizers, watch that video to learn how to use it.

2. Create your visual map using one of the following:
