WebQuest

I had heard about WebQuests, but had know idea what was involved with them. I like the idea I found of connecting music with the Outsiders. I really think the students will connect with the music aspect of the assignment. The music is relatively old to them, and I think it will be good to expose them to something a little different than what they are used to. It seems like WebQuests wwill take a long time to put together, so I don't know how many a teacher would be able to prepare. However, I think it's worthwhile to pursue because of the amount of critical thinking it makes students do, and the draw it will have on students. It is something different and interesting to present information through.
