Web quests are web-based research activity for use in the classroom. This project will require you to work in small groups to create a web quest on a topic of your choice and for an audience of your choice.  The web quest will be published in the form of linked web pages and will be modeled on the web quests available from the Best Webquests.com.

This web quest will be used as an artifact in your portfolio. SAVE IT!

Remember, good Webquests require students to engage in higher-order thinking skills!  For examples of questions that get kids to do this sort of critical thinking, please see my page on Asking Good Questions.
