This is what I am thinking for my WebQuest. I think that I am going to do a day in the life of...for social studies. In 4th grade they learn about Utah history. I think I would do it four around 1860, a couple of years after the pioneers reached Utah. I want the students to be able to choose who they want to 'be'. I think that my options will be: mountain man, pioneer, and native american. I might even sub divide them with pioneer woman, pioneer man, Ute, Goshute, Shoshoni, Navajo, and Paiute. The students would click on the character they want to 'be' and read about them. For their project they can choose 3 out of 7 things to complete.1. Write a daily schedule that you live by
2. Write about the foods you eat and what you need to eat them (ingredients, cookware)
3. Create your place of dwelling (this can be a drawing or a 3d replica)
4. Look up and write down 5 words that are in your 'lingo' or language. Define the words and write them in sentences.
5. Create a mini fashion show of your wardrobe throughout the year.
6. Draw a self portrait and write a mini biography
7. Write a story about what would happen if your 1860 self woke up and was in 2010.
Let me know what you think!!!
