You will work as a class to **research** to find out relevant information about 25 places and create a wiki to share with everyone.  ||

**Individually** you are responsible for reporting three places. You must include:   - **A m** ** ap ** of Washington, D.C. showing the place (emphasis maybe labeling). - **Information** answering the following essential questions. // · // //What is the role or purpose of this structure? (Function) // // · // //How was this structure built? (Architecture and Construction and Location) // // · // //Why is this structure important or noteworthy? (Historical Significance and Purpose) // // · // //What do you think when you visit this structure? (Personal Experience and Reflection) //  - Three to five **captivating pictures** and caption from a different view of the same place. - A 60 seconds **promotional videoclip** from a tourist’s point of view including an original slogan, it could be as text, recorded voice or both. - __**[|MLA Bibliography]**__ **.** You must cite properly ALL text, images, sound and video clips.
