The Joy of a Quest

I think that Webquests are such an effective instructional tool for investigative learning.  They are so easy to differentiate as well.  It is also strong for ELlearners, who need visual and auditory reinforcement. 

I'd like to share 2 Webquests that I (or Lisa Garcia and I, as in the AVID quest) created for our students to investigate a topic. 

The first is contextual information for a Saudi Arabian text we read in my IB class called Woman of Sand and Myrhh.  What a neat reading journey that was into another world!

The second was information for our AVID seniors regarding health issues in college...the dreaded Freshman 15.
