VFT-draft

= **VFT FIRST DRAFT** =


 * Due Date:** November 24 by 2pm.


 * Directions**: One or more members of the group will upload a copy to the Wikispace **using revised versions of background and stop wikipages, along with any new pages. The first page should be entitled GROUPNAME-index, or GROUPNAME-home. The rest of the new pages should be named based on what they are (GROUPNAME-objectives, GROUPNAME-maps etc.).**

Expect to do revisions and edits for the final.


 * Purpose:** This is your first full draft of the entire VFT with the background information, and the trip itself with the stops listed. The VFT should also include a minimum of 5 physical geography questions – at least one question per stop, and at least one general question at the end. “Stop” questions should be at the end of each specific stop location, and general questions should be at the end of the entire VFT.

Remember, ask physical geography questions you feel the Nevada/Wisconsin VFTers should be able to answer after completing your fieldtrip.

The VFT first draft will require some research and you will be **turning in the following**: 1.) Begin with a statement of the __objectives__ of your Virtual FieldTrip (i.e., what do you want people that take your fieldtrip to learn?). 2.) Introduce a __map__ (e.g. Google Earth/Google Map) that has all of the stop locations. Use Google Earth or Google Maps. 3.) __Background__ information - geology/rocks/physical landforms/features of area etc. Look to the previous background wikipage for more details. 4.) __Four stops__ - remember, each stop must include some commentary about what is observed at there along with any other appropriate graphical material such as photographs (required), images, diagrams, graphs, tables, topographic profiles, maps, and/or satellite imagery. Remember, this is a virtual fieldtrip so the visuals are a must! Look to the previous stop webpage for more details on requirements etc. 5.) One __question__ per stop, plus a final question. There should be 5 total questions...

Remember to have
 * your GPS points per site,
 * your collected soil information per site,
 * your sources at the end of each wikipage [or all together at the end],
 * your figures labeled, and
 * links between the pages [and working]. See the arrow links I use to navigate between pages as an example on how to link the pages together...

Make sure you have a title and the names of all the members of your group.

--**The total points is 30** 2.5 points for statement of objectives, 2.5 points for the map, 6.0 points for the background information ( Look to the background wikipage and your edits for requirements) 12 points for the stops (3 per stop; look to the stops wikipage and your edits for requirements)) 2.5 points for the stop questions (0.5 per each question) 2.5 points for spelling/syntax etc. __2.0__ point for uploading it correctly on wikispace.
 * 30** TOTAL POINTS

Note: The group will receive feedback about your draft before you submit the final.
