Rescue Mission Planet Earth
Teacher Page
I created this WebQuest for grades 7 or 8 but the tasks could easily be modified to be made more difficult or less challenging depending upon your age group. For language arts teachers, this quest provides varied and different project formats for all learning styles. It allows each student to work at their individual pace with a final date for completion as their only strict parameter. You may want to consider; however assigning benchmark dates to insure gradual, continued progress. I hope this quest excites your students about protecting our environment and improves many areas of their academic performance without them even realizing they are learning!
