We believe that this Web Quest is a worthy endeavor. It provides opportunities for cooperative group work, while challenging students to engage in the highest levels of thinking. Students must evaluate information and assimilate their findings into a cohesive presentation. This activity encourages students to be self directed, collaborative workers. The Poster-Art activity provides opportunities for students to exercise multiple intelligence preferences and are designed to appeal to various learning styles while the quiz allows the students to synthesize what they have learned.
