My Contributios to the Webquest Wiki

I contributed to the webuest wiki by adding three great webquests that I could very easily integrate into my classroom, or even just take the tasks and use in a unit. I liked them because they were very real world and they are very important topics to me and the things that I plan to teach about.

• The first webquest that I chose is called Environmental Awareness: Junk Mail Overload. It is analyzing junk mail and how much stuff people throw away. Students have to come up with solutions to an environmental problem. It is a retelling, persuasive and analytical task.
  
  
• The second web quest is called Climate Change: a Hot Topic... Cool Solutions. It is all about students understanding the impact that they can have (good or bad) on their communities by the actions that they take. This webquest is a mystery, persuasive, analytical and scientific task.
  
  
• The last webquest is a very simple study of the Water Cycle and it is just an easy way to introduce the conversation to the class of earth cycles. This webquest is both a scientific and an analytical task.

Enjoy!
