 * ===Performance Task Overview=== ||
 * You have been selected to embark on a mission! You are to travel through time into time to the year 2011 and educate the people of the future in the ways of your 19th century lifestyle. Expect to arrive in a small town in the state of Maine known to the locals as "Farmington". This will your host town for the entirety of your stay. A word of caution to the fearless traveler, this new time may have distractions but you //must// remain focused on your goal. You must take the skills you have accumulated to effectively teach the people of the year 2011 about your lifestyle during the Westward Expansion. Before you return home you must create a living historical representation of your way of life in order to educate the people of tomorrow. Keep in mind after you have departed, there will be no record of your stay. You must make sure to leave an artifact documenting your time in the year 2011. To successfully do this you must create an e-folio that these future people can keep using modern technology. This artifact must then be presented to the public. On this note I must insist that you take your leave. Do not fail this mission! See you in the past! ||
