WebQuest Underway
I did a WebQuest about 6 years ago as an undergrad. We did it in a group of 5 and split up the duties. As I start to create my own WebQuest, I am finding it more difficult than I remember. Not so much how to create one, but finding the appropriate webpages to take my kids to. I am having them plan to build a flower bed. I thought I would start them by researching how to do it and the necessary steps that it takes. But, as I looked for resources, I couldn't find any that I felt wouldn't completely turn off sixth graders from the idea. So instead, I'm going to give them a budget, and have them "shop" online for the materials that they will need. They will have to determine the type of stone, dirt, weed barrier, and flowers that they would like to use. They will present (in the form of a scale drawing poster) their plan to the Board of Education.

That sounds good. It's similar to the ideas I have. It is hard to find good websites. :)
It would be cool if you could get a couple of local landscaping business to give you a quote so students could compare the price of purchasing the service vs. doing it themselves. Yes - I am a bus. ed teacher :)
