 [Missions]
Mission 1: Each of the spy leaders will select one of the missions listed above. Each leader must select a different mission. After selecting a mission, the leaders will become experts in their field by collecting data for their "Top Secret Facts" document. Following the completion of the document, the leaders will brief each other about the data they collected.

Mission 2: Using the collected data, the spy leaders will create a presentation to be used to brief a class of rookie spies. This information should equip the rookies with the ability to fit into Scotland undetected. At the minimum, your briefing should include a Power Point Presentaion to aid in teaching your spies. You may also choose to include other visuals or props to help your rookies gain a better understanding of Scottish life.

Mission 3: Brief your class of rookie spies. Be prepared to answer questions that may arise.

 [Process]

1. Each member of the group will select one of the following leadership positions: History Spy, Culture Spy, and Geography Spy. Each member should have a different position.

2. Print the Top Secret Document. Each spy leader will collect data about his/her specific subject by using the questions contained within the Top Secret Document. Go to the appropriate link to print your worksheet.

3. As you use the websites provided in the Top Secret Document, record the information you collect about your subject in your spy notebook.

4. After each spy leader has completed their data-collecting mission, brief each other about the data you gathered.

5. Using the data you gathered, prepare to brief your class of rookie spies. In your presentation, you will need to include a Power Point Presentation to aid the rookies in learning about Scotland. Also include any other pictures or props you feel would be useful. Remember that your presentation needs to be thorough so your rookies can safely complete their missions.

6. During your assigned training period, educate your rookie spies about Scotland. Use your Power Point presentation and any other method you feel will be effective. Be prepared to answer any questions your rookie spies may ask.
