Hello collegues, This WebQuest is my first one of my career as a Spanish as a second language teacher. I made it thinking on students from 10th to 12th level to show them a fun way to use the preterite and imperfect tenses. Through this WebQuest, students are asked to pretend they are turist guides assigned by their high school. Their mission is to take a group of visiting students from Spanish speaking countries to learn about urban legends from Pennsylvania. Since this group of visiting students do not speak English, the whole tour has to be in Spanish. The use of preterite and imperfect is a challenging task for many students. Knowing that these tenses can be used to tell a story or to recall an event will help them to uderstand when to use them and how. I prepare this activity considering the following Academic Standards NETS for students and for teachers: NETS-Students 1. Creativity and Innovation 2. Communication and Collaboration 3. Research and Information Fluency 4. Critical Thinking, Problem solving, and Decision Making 5. Digital Citizenship 6. Technology Operations and Concepts NETS-Teachers 1. Facilitates and Inspire Students Learning and Creativity 2, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments 3. Model Digital-Age Wek and Learning 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility 5. Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership Credits: This WebQuest was created inspired in Luis Perez Tobarra's WebQuest "Vaya Cuento" retrieved from http://vayacuento.narod.ru/index.htm The pictures used in this Web Quest where:
