What makes this an interesting WebQuest
|
- Good example of a classic WebQuest Question.
- Good use of process guides
- Some would prefer not to "lead students to the right answer" of Peace and let them discover it as a big "ah-ha."
- Excellent variety of final products with separate evaluation rubrics that stress understanding.
- The "Thoughtful Questions" on the Teacher's page are helpful and will promote more sophisticated answers.
