HomeSchool Web Quest #7 - Thanksgiving Studies


To learn to use our Web in ways that open up new knowledge is an important reason for the Web Quest. As well, you will fine tune your ability to look this up on the web, to "search" for information. Often it is called "data mining". Digging in for more and more information as you work on an essay or report.

Depending on how you like to do your work, you may prepare the answers to the Quest in a word processor and email them over to camp@campinternet.net or prepare your answers on paper with pictures pasted on. You may then use your scanner to prepare the answers for email over. Remember send all your answers to camp@campinternet.net

There are 2 levels of questions in the Quest.

"Bring back a picture" is for the younger students. Their part in the Quest report can be to gather pictures from the various links to add to the reports written by older students.

Questions requiring 100 word answers are for our older students to prepare to go along with the pictures found.

Of course, you can do both the pictures and text answers yourself if your Homeschool does not have a mix of kids of different ages.
