Information--This WebQuest
was created for use by 3rd grade students, but could be used by
4th and adapted for older students. The primary information will
be gathered through internet sites. Other media center materials
can also be a valuable source of information.
Journal--Students will
create a scrapbook type journal
printed on aged or yellowed paper. Encourage language from that
time to help them get into their character. This can be gained by
reading some books and discussing the language and beliefs of that
time period. It makes the activity more authentic if the journal
takes on an olden day appearance. Students can also use erasable
ink pens to recreate the quill and ink effect.
Time--This WebQuest will
take approximately 2 weeks.
Product--The final presentation
will require collaboration with team members about the information
they have researched. There should be 3-4 students on each team.
It might be necessary or beneficial to assign roles so that one
team member does not overpower the group. Encourage students to
refer to the rubric as they work through this webquest.
