  2. Introduction • Last night, around 3 A.M, Nevada experienced a power shortage throughout the whole state. State officials did the best they could to turn the power back on.

  3. Task • Your job as a young detective is to go on a hunt to find the missing information about Nevada and bring it to the city museum. You will create a poster board illustrating your findings on when Nevada became a state, the state capital, bird, seal and flag. Your work will be displayed on the museum walls for a gallery walk. Be prepared to explain your findings to state officials.
