Gathering Information
Collect information to
answer your questions.
On your summer vacation, you will
make stops in at least three of Washington's regions. As you search
for information on historic sites and museums, cultural groups, boating and water sports, baseball teams, campgrounds,
and hiking trails, you will
notice that different regions have different geographic features and
different activities to offer.
Use your Note Sheet to record the information you gather
for your summer vacation. Be sure to record information on each source using correct MLA Citation Format.
