The Process and Resources

In this WebQuest you will be working in groups of four. Your group will be assigned a specific topic about colonial times, either colonial trades, colonial schooling, everyday life or clothing. Each member of your group will be assigned a question about his/her topic. Your group will look at Webpages from all over the world made by people who care about Colonial Times. Because these are real Webpages we're looking at, not things made just for schools, the reading level might challenge you. Feel free to use the online dictionary or one in our classroom.

You'll begin with everyone in your group getting some background information before splitting up into roles where people on your team become experts on one part of the topic.
