This week Natalie and I are working on our hook for the WebQuest. We decided to have our students start on the East Coast and make their way to California for the great Gold Rush! Some things that we considered for our students to think about for their journey are:
1. How will you save money for your journey?
2. How will you break up the jobs between you and your partners?
3. What route will you take to the West coast? land or water?
4. How will you find food?
5. Will you bring medication in case of sickness?
The students will also come up with their own traveling precautions for their journey. We are also having the students create a poster to encourage people to come out to California for the Gold Rush as an art integration. They can even come up with their own team names for inspiration!
Great that you have a focus now, but I'm not seeing cohesion across what you are describing. If the product is a poster, then what is the purpose of all the tasks about the journey?
