This activity guides students via the internet on a mission tour. Students will follow commands that lead them through the tour and by doing so answer various questions related to California mission history. Students will follow computer commands to take a virtual tour of The Spanish Missions of California. Students will use information found in the virtual tour to answer various questions. Students compare and contrast the lives of the padres and lives of the Indians who lived on the missions.
Students write a descriptive paragraph depicting what the mission looks like.
Students generate a list of products produced at the missions and their uses. Students compare and contrast the lives of Indian women and Indian men on the mission. Students draw a map of California and where the missions are located. Students report on information about a particular mission and make a mission model. As you take the tour remember to look back at your questions because all of the answers are there if you look carefully.
