Research+and+Writer+Role

You are the person primarily responsible for the original research and writing up of the segment copy to be recorded. You are the "anchor" of your group, as all your research will necessarily bleed into everyone else's tasks. So you must find out all the factual information about your "Egyptian treasure" and inform your group members of the most important facts, and then they can get on with their work. You also must accurately and succinctly summarize the information on your area and write "copy" for the Broadcast/Leader to say in front of the video camera.Summarize the most important facts, and no "cutting" and "pasting" -- the words must be your own. Please remember you must site your sources if you use the words/ideas of another.

This last bit is terribly important: you cannot go on TV and plagiarize the words of another, or the Mrs. Geib's History Channel will be in big legal trouble! Therefore, you must pass your copy by Mrs. Geib for editorial approval before the broadcast.
