Process

This WebQuest has three phases:

1. World Holidays

• The first step is to learn as much as you can about how we honor people with holidays.
• Note: your team will have a folder to organize your materials. Keep everything you do!
• You will be turning this folder in at the end of the project.

2. Choosing an Explorer

• The next step is to identify one explorer who is worthy of being honored with a new holiday
• Then you will learn about that person so you can design an appropriate celebration.

3. Developing Your Presentation

• The last step is to create a presentation for a committee of state legislators to persuade them that your plan for a new holiday should be adopted.
• The role of the committee will be played by a group of teachers and students from our class.
