Webquest

Savanna, Lauren, and I are creatign a webquest dedicated to the study of multicultural iterature. However, we are not making our students read one text from one culture; we are allowing them to choose. This will make the webquest more authentic to their interests, and they will be more apt to learn about the culture. On our webquest, we are allowing our studnts to choose from Latin Amrican, African American, or Middle Eastern literature. Then the stusdents will have to choos a novel to gain a better understanding of the gorups experiences. Next, the students will go on a culture quest by using the links on the page. Finally, the students wil lhave to answer a critical lens that deals with prejudice and oppression. We rteally thingk this would be a great resource to use in the classroom.

This project sounds good, and looks good too. Savanna showed me your project during class today when we were in the computer lab, and it looks like it's really coming along well! I'm excited to see your final product in class.
