 * Please read the following letter from Dr. Lensington, Curator of the "Where In the World" Museum **

Greetings from the Where In The World Museum You are receiving this letter because your name was given to me as a potential photographer and that’s exactly what I need!

My name is Dr. Click Lensington and I am the curator for the Where in the World Museum in Kodaka. As you have probably heard, we have a fabulous museum of cool stuff…well, not really the stuff itself, as we don’t have enough money to actually buy the artifacts. But we do have wonderful pictures of things!

 The museum recently received a generous gift from Nikon to add a new wing to display fabulous pictures and photo journals…and we want YOU to go take the photos for that new addition. Of course, we will be delighted to compensate you in prizes for your outstanding photo journals with explanations. In fact, we are so excited about filling the museum that we have asked several potential photographers to gather pictures (perhaps you know them; they are in your class!).

A few things to share with you before your imminent departure:

**1.** My assistant, F. StopShudder, suffers from a mild confusion. His instructions on what pictures to take and where to find them are not always crystal clear. Some of them may require some detective work. Read the clue carefully and identify the keywords for a hint on where you will find this artifact.

**2.** Once you have identified the location, go to that location in Google Earth and use the Wikipedia icons or Google.com to find information you will need to respond to the question posed with each clue. //**Be Forewarned:** You must read carefully and completely to solve the clues. Haste makes waste and we need each picture for the museum//.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">**3.** Take a picture of the artifact; save it in your online folder and then upload it to your Mixbook photo journal page with your letter describing the site. Make sure you adjust the size of the picture to fit on your page and feel free to include additional pictures that help to describe the site (maps, other views, etc.)

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">**4.** Respond to each artifact question with a well-written, clear answer so we can include that explanation with your photo display in the museum. Type the contents of your answer in a letter format next to the picture frame in your template.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">**5.** You will be asked to submit your Museum work to us (through your teacher) on a regular basis.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Good luck, world traveler! And hurry back as the world waits to view your findings.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> Gratefully,

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 130%;">
