Begin your research into the race characteristics, using the Ski to Sea Chart.
Always cite your information sources, by using the MLA Citation Format. Print a copy of this document for your use during the project.
After you have a good understanding of the characteristics of the Ski to Sea race, select 3 possible locations in the Pacific
Rim that might be able to host such a race.
Gather information about these locations, using the Note Sheet.
You will need to have a way to evaluate the locations you have chosen and make a reasoned decision as to what would
be the best site for a Ski to Sea Race. A rubric is a good way to look at criteria and make evaluations.
As a group you will need to decide what criteria are important in choosing a good location. You will then need to define what
characteristics of each criterion make an excellent, an adequate or a poor choice. These decisions will be shown on your Criteria Rubric. For example:
|

|

Open the link Criteria Rubric, and save the chart to the drive your teacher has chosen for you. Follow the directions on the chart to create your own rubric.
