Students should print off the worksheet and then begin completing the assignment with a partner. Students need to visit and answer the questions to seven of the eleven sites. Two of them must be in the easy category, four in the intermediate category, and one in the difficult category. <span style="font-family: 'Eras Light ITC','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">3.
