For my activity, I would have students explore the history of Edenton, NC in the form of a WebQuest using a predetermined list of websites. Students would be given a scaffolded WebQuest handout to fill out in pairs using a computer. Subtopics of focus would be subjects like historical cites, attractions, and the history of Edenton. Upon finishing the WebQuest, students would use the information to create one PowerPoint slide each using text and an image that displays one interesting fact they discovered. I’ll have students share the slides to a common drive and then compile them into one PowerPoint presentation that we’d view as a class and review the information covered on the WebQuest. Students would be responsible for turning in their WebQuest handouts as a form of assessment.
