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.
