Information-This WebQuest was created for use by 4th grade students, but could be 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 the olden day appearance. Students could also use erasable ink pens to recreate the quill and ink effect of that time period.
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 helpful to assign roles so that one team member is not overpowering the group. Encourage students to refer to the rubic and checklist as they work through this webquest.
