What makes this an interesting WebQuest
|
- Excellent question prompts interpretation, not regurgitation
- The lack of scaffolding / template for a comparison chart for cultures and writing task makes this a WebQuest that's appropriate for students who are being weaned off the WebQuest structure. This is Stage 9 of the 10 Stages of Working the Web
- Shows how a quickly made activity can enrich student learning and thinking.
