WebQuests


 * **WebQuest Title** - I Want YOU For The US Army! ||
 * In this WebQuest, students are analyzing propaganda posters, mainly in the realm of military recruitment. The end result is each group producing a recruitment poster of their own.

I believe that this was a good quality webquest. It spanned at least two content areas, integrated technology, presented "do-able" tasks, and required higher order thinking.

I believe that this would be a good use of class time. Actually, I could see this being done (possibly) between the ELA and Social Studies teacher. This way, if time was a factor, it might be done more quickly using double period sessions. It also addresses topics found both in the ELA and SS standards. I believe that the opportunity is there for MORE technology to be integrated, such as making a Flickr or making it online collaborative project.

I do think that some of the websites are a little dry and throw out way too much information for students. It might be OK for high school, but for 7th grade, a little much. I also think that there needs to be more examples of propaganda posters for the students. ||
