3 The attached activity document should be printed out for each student. They will answer questions as they proceed through the World of Coca-Cola attraction. The quiz created by students can be used as an assessment tool upon returning to the classroom. Note to Teacher...students will need room to write their responses. I have given about what space they will need for each answer. This document could be 3 pages long.

4 Language Arts Activity Document World of Coca-Cola Name_ Directions: Take this document with you as you tour the World of Coca-Cola attraction. Answer the questions as you proceed through the attraction. 1. As you proceed through the attraction, make a list of ten questions that you can give to another student that can be answered after visiting the World of Coca-Cola attraction. Include an answer key. Remember to focus on big ideas instead of small details. After you return to class, you will be exchanging these questions with a partner. 2. After reading the text and watching the videos in gallery 8 of Milestones of Refreshment (International Expansion), write one paragraph outlining one cause and effect that is discussed in this gallery. 3. Once you have completed the Milestones of Refreshment galleries, ask another student to give their opinion about which innovation of The Coca-Cola Company led to the greatest expansion of the company. Make sure your partner supports their opinion with facts by asking follow-up questions to help him/her express reasons for their opinion. Summarize their response below. 4. What effect do you think the videos and written media wish to illicit in the minds of the visitors to the World of Coca-Cola? What techniques has the company used to achieve these effects? Have these techniques been effective? After writing your paragraph below, on the back of this sheet of paper make a simple rubric and show where on this rubric you believe the techniques used at the World of Coca-Cola would fall in effectiveness. 5. As you proceed through the attraction, take note of the plaques outlining green technology that has been incorporated throughout the attraction. Upstairs, outside of the 4-D movie you will notice a number of charts outlining techniques used to make the World of Coca-Cola a green building. Write a three-paragraph explanation concerning why you think the World of Coca-Cola has chosen to focus their attention on green technology, and the effect this effort has on their guests. Make sure you use many supporting details, only include pertinent information, and think about an organizational pattern that will make sense to your reader.
