This
webquest was designed for a fifth grade class; it includes history and
math skills. The students must know the basic workings of Microsoft
Excel and the Internet. Working in groups of two, the students learn
how to use the Internet to make travel plans. The students will
then put their information into an organized spreadsheet. As the
instructor, you may need to help students with formulas or set-up of the
spreadsheet. Because of current politcal issues, the students must
develop an alternate plan in order to visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient
World; students can not simply fly. Allow students to think creatively
for modes of transportation, but you may need to help in this process.
Some examples include walking, boats, cars, camping, camels, etc.
The webquest should take students about 2 weeks, so some class time should
be allotted. Remember to allow time for students to ask any needed
questions.
