Description
|
|
"You have been hired by the parents of Icabod, a sixth grade student. They suspect their child of smoking or about to start. He's gone through D.A.R.E. and listened to the lectures of his parents and teachers. However, he thinks they are all just handing him a line. After all, he sees lots of adults smoking and figures it isn't really so bad. In fact, he thinks it's pretty cool. But he might listen to you. After all, you're his peer. That's what his parents are counting on. They've hired you to convince him to quit smoking. To do so, you must show your commitment to the fight against youth using tobacco and create a memorable message for him. Do a good job - it could be a matter of life and death."

What makes this an interesting WebQuest
|
- Note: This is a really good WebQuest, but it hasn't been updated in years. So use it as a model, not something to implement in the classroom as is.
- Comprehensive Background section contains sites relevant to age of students
- The Task is clearly stated, challenging and relevant
- Real World Feedback is achieved in more than one context
