North Middle School Fall Quarter Web Quest - 5 Themes

This project is geared for 7th grade and higher. It was developed to encourage students to explore the technology of the internet, and other computer related functions. This is a great webquest because it can be done with 1 student, or as a cooperative learning project. The ability to design a basic on-line presentation is a useful tool for all students. It can be taught in just a week if your classroom is blessed with enough computers to allow the students to have no more than 2 students per computer at a time.

This project encourages students to go beyond the norm. It also helps to open their mind to the possibilities of looking beyond thier own hometown area when it comes to traveling when they enter into the adult life.

The standards addressed are for the state of Montana, Social Studies. S1-C10-PO2-  Identify the connection between current and historical events and issues studied at this grade level using information from class discussions and various resources (e.g., newspapers, magazines, television, Internet, books, maps).
