Project/Webquest Notes
What you need to complete this project
1. The Internet or a good enyclopedia and/or atlas.
2. A scrapbook or other other way to store and present your information.
3. A printer (but only print the things you need! Store images and text together e.g in a Word document or Photoshop contact sheet.
4. Pen, pencils etc
Use your imagination! You could draw your own maps, for example, or colour printed copies.
A web quest is not a test. It's like a project where you collect information, organise it, respond creatively (through drawing, writing etc) and finally present it in an attractive and accessible way.
