Goals and Objectives
The goal of my web quest is to have students understand what it means to face
adversity and struggle to overcome its effects. Our reading curriculum talks
about Gloria Estefan being a hero in the area of music. My web quest will focus
on other music artists who have also struggled in life and over came adversity.
Students will relate their lives to their own. They will decide if these other
artists are heroes as well.
Students will use technology to do research, create a time line, create a power
point presentation, and conduct an interview. Students will
enhance their communication skills by presenting their projects upon completion
of the web quest.
