Resources for Group 3

This group will take over when Odysseus gets to the strait where Scylla and Charybdis live and continue through the island of Thrinacia, the island of Ogygia where Odysseus meets Calypso, and finally the island of the Paeacians and the trip to Ithaca. The third part of the museum will cover references to the gods, the characters and events that can be found in literature.

• Keep a journal with daily entires on your progress, your questions, your research, you ideas, and even your ideas that sounded good until you tried to make them work. It is just as important to learn from our bad ideas as it is from our good ones.Also in your journal keep notes on what the other members of your group are doing. They are your greatest resource and you need to know who to ask.
• Review and study sources that tell about your portion of the voyage and the park.
• As a group come up with the slogan and the idea for the flag for your area. 
• Study and discuss the following jobs necessary for the project.
• Each member of the group will take one of the following roles:
  • Project Superintendent: The superintendent will oversee the project, and make sure that all of the individual parts come together to complete the project. The superintendent will also take notes on what everyone is doing and make sure that jobs and topics for the museum are not duplicated. This person will be responsible for keeping the group on task and on time. The superintendent will be the "right hand person" helping all of the other group members. This person is also responsible for working with the othe Project Superintendents and making sure that all of the peices of the larger project fit together and are done in a timely manor.
  • Coordinator of Food Service: This person takes the ideas of the group and makes the final decisions about what food to serve and the creation of the actual menu will be done by this person. Disney wants to see the menu exactly as the park visitors will see it. Be creative and stick to the theme.
  • Groundskeeper: This person will ensure that the flag and the slogan that the group has come up with are created, and are visible and that a physical representation of the theme is evident either in the lay out of the park or the plantings.
  • Attractions Coordinator: This person will turn the ideas of the group into the reality of the park. Remember that you need rides, and shows and games for a variety of age groups.
  • Museum Co-Curators: Every person must choose what topic they will research for the groups display in the visitor's center/museum. Each person must research their topic,and turn in a 2 page paper about what they have researched and what they want the visitors to know about their topic.
