Mod 1

 You are assigned to a Halloween link. 

With your group members, put your heads together to create some questions that will be an assignment for other members of your class. Make them specific.  For example, instead of saying....

What is the origin of Halloween?....you could say....which group of people originally began to celebrate Halloween, and what did they call it?

Requirements:

• 5 to 7 questions (spelling and punctuation matter)
• Read through the link BEFORE constructing sentences (take notes while reading)
• paste the questions to your journal with your category listed above (only one person in the group)
• write down an answer key and hand it directly to me
