The Iceman : The Ultimate "Cold Case"

Day 1: Preview all the information from the Main Source links below about the Iceman.  Think like an archaeologist, like a police detective uncovering facts about past events.  Your goal during this preview is to decide on one aspect of the Iceman you would like to research further then develop a "deep thinking" inquiry question - a why or how question.

Day 2: Create a NoodleTools account to record the citation information (**CI**)for each source. We will do the Museum website together. Click on the **CI** for each link to view a copy of the website. This will open a new window to guide you to the correct citation information. ONLY RECORD THE CITATION FOR A WEBSITE ONCE.  IF YOU USE SAME SOURCE ON ANOTHER QPI, JUST LIST THE SOURCE TITLE ON THE SECOND QPI.

Day 2: After you have created your inquiry question, use the Main Source links and start working with the information, recording the information on the QPI form. Quote - Paraphrase - Interpret. The QPI is located in Google Classroom.

Otzi report from NPR (listening only, 4 minutes) "Scientists using forensic techniques on a 5,200-year-old corpse uncover a treasure trove of information about life in the European Paleolithic Age. The corpse, known "Otzi," was discovered in the Italian Alps in 1991. NPR's Christopher Joyce reports."

Prehistoric Iceman May Have Been Murdered (listening only, 4 1/2 minutes)  "Until two years ago, scientists believed that a prehistoric hunter discovered in the Italian Alps more than a decade ago had frozen to death. But new evidence suggests Otzi, as the iceman is known, was murdered — and he went down fighting. Hear Tom Loy, the University of Queensland scientist who led the research."
