Lauren+Robinson+-+WebQuests

A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners’ time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners’ thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

 * This WebQuest is great for middle school honor students and high school. It is based on a novel that students have to read. Students will take on the role of an investigative reporter, archeologist, part detective, and part psychologist so they can answer the question: “How are we like sons of samurai?”
