Webquest for Wanderlust!

Creating a Travel-Based Webquest with your Students

Are you interested in a way to get your students to get more involved and at the same time integrate technology?  A webquest is the way to do it!  It's so much fun and shows off the students' creativity.  I have created a travel-based webquest that is geared toward upper level high school students.

Before introducing this exercise, it would be best to show the students an example of a travel brochure.  You could describe the different parts of a brochure and explain what it usually includes.  An example pamphlet could be passed around class so that they get an idea of what they are actually supposed to create.

Then, the students should be taken to the computer lab where they should open a Word document under Layout Templates and choose the brochure they like best.  From here, you should give them this link, which explains what their job actually is.

This webquest includes:
  • Introduction
  • Task
  • Process
  • Resources
  • Evaluation
  • Conclusion

Up, Up, and Away!

Your students should have fun with this activity!  It is all about learning about an English-speaking country's customs, festivals, typical food, etc.  The project can be completed in pairs or even in groups and the work can be distributed evenly in the process section.
