What is my mission? (The pun was intended)

Since you are a famous historian, your mission, if you are willing to accept it, is to collect as much information as you can about the early Spanish missions in California.

What do I need to do?

Your job is to write a report on one of the California missions. Please give facts about the mission, such as, the date established, who founded it, the way of life, who inhabited it, how the Indians lives changed, what it produced, it's location, etc.

How will I do that?

First, you will read books, do research on the Internet, watch videos and maybe visit a mission. Second, you will answer some questions on a worksheet. Third, you will use your answers to write a report about your California mission.

What happens to my report?

It is published on the Internet for the whole world to see!
