This webquest is for grades 10-12 and was developed with a high school Spanish class in mind. I put this webquest together with a social/economic justice message in mind as a cultural lesson for my Spanish II and III classes. I think this webquest would be excellent for a high school science class or social studies/civics class. .
One of the most important skills students will learn from this webquest is that of making reasonable inferences from data. It's important for students to be able to analyze data and then make connections that aren't implicit in the numbers. It's a skill they can apply to other subjects and will serve them well after high school, so I've emphasized this in the webquest, especially in the performance rubric.
