Actions people can take will include measures to help counter effects that lead to global warming. They will be asked to answer questions about the links they visited. The students will conclude this Webquest by contributing a character of their own to a migrant camp hyperfiction. We created this Webquest out of a desire to see history and language arts combined in an interesting manner. History lessons, we believe, are best served by challenging students to do something with their knowledge.
Fiction helps history come alive.
It is also important for students in the language arts classroom to see the process by which authors create historical fiction and to discover that they too can be authors of creative writing. Be space travelers with us as we visit earth and explore the moon. Go back in time and share the experiences of the Apollo astronauts. Create your own moon myth from the many superstitions which surround this mysterious planet. We live in Maine where we think it's cold but imagine a place so cold that it once reached -129 degrees Fahrenheit.
