Project #5

Webquests are great teaching tools for students to both learn how to manuver within the internet and new ways to discover knowledge.  Our project was to create our own webquest using NVU and looking at other examples from the web as inspiration.  I chose to build a 1st grade webquest around a favorite book of mine by Arthur Dorros - La Isla.  I have a growing collection of hispanic childrens books which I like to share with my children (and hope to share with my classroom in the future!).  La Isla not only is a very whimsical book about a little girl flying around the world with her grandmother, but it also explores the island of Puerto Rico.  I used the 5 themes of geography as a base and expanded the lesson into a language arts project as well.  I very much enjoyed working on this project and hope to create webquests in the future for my students!
