How It Works

WebQuest lessons are hard to find, and this one is geared towards high school students who are computer savvy. The assignments will keep students interested and involved in their learning. An evaluation in rubric form is included to make this an easy site for teachers to implement in the study of John Knowles novel.

In the Classroom

Update the lesson plan for these tech savvy students, and have them turn in their presentation via Google Docs, <a href="/single.cfm?id=8030">reviewed here</a>, or depending on the age of your students show them how to embed media transforming their learning by making a multimedia presentation using one of the many TeachersFirst Edge Multimedia tools, <a href="/content/edge.cfm?c=16">reviewed here</a>. Some tool suggestions are (click on the tool name to access the review): <a href="/single.cfm?id=13408">Infogram</a>, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16745">Lucidpress</a>, and <a href="/single.cfm?id=13954">Powtoon</a>, instead of the traditional Microsoft PowerPoint. This will save them from having to bring it in on a flash drive, and make it easy to access from anywhere. rn<br><br>rnMake sure to also save the site as a favorite for students on classroom computers, making it easier for them to access it!
