| Edgar Allan Poe Webquest | Grades 6 to 8 | Ellen Bower | |
|
This is a simple webquest to use with students who have not done many webquests. It introduces students to Poe effectively by requiring them to research his life as well as one of his stories. It is designed for students to work in teams, which makes it ideal for middle school students. The options given for evaluation are attractive to students and there is even a section that compares Poe to Stephen King.

| Retelling the Classic Tales | Grades 6 to 12 | Adrienne Somera | |
|
Billed as a drama webquest, this is a project that outlines clearly and simply the different roles involved in creating a live play: from what blocking is to the responsibilities of prop and costume masters. For older students, it can serve as an introduction to more detailed or more difficult projects. This lacks some key elements of a webquest in design (e.g.,no process or evaluation), but it is highly useful for students with little or no real experience in the realm of play production.

| The Big Wide World Webquest | Grades 2 to 6 | The Museum of Television & Radio | |
|
This site pulls together understanding of environment, geography, the earth and its setting in space, cultures, animals, and more. It forms a "core" for what social studies (and science)is all about. To figure out how the “Big Wide World” works, students will work with partners to investigate one area of the world (globe, plants, people, cultures, language, animals) and come up with rules about how this area works. The individual areas join with other areas and determine how the areas relate to each other. A teacher guide included. Active X is required on some website links.

| The Webquest Page | Grades 1 to 12 | Educational Technology Department, San Diego State University | |
|
For teachers who want to learn more about webquests, this is the original from Bernie Dodge at San Diego State. He and Tom March "invented" the webquest. The term has come to be used in many ways, but this is the "real" thing. With academic articles, complete training materials, exercises, information on design, suggestions for adapting existing webquests, etc., this is a complete resource. The site also contains links to online workshops for those who prefer instruction with feedback. Teachers First also has a step-by-step tutorial on making a web-based activity, Webquest 101.

| Holes (webquest) | Grades 6 to 9 | Lu Dayment & Linda Heiden | |
|
This webquest uses the metaphor of hole-digging found in the novel to provide separate activities for 5 separate groups of students. Each hole focuses on a certain aspect of the book , such as reptiles, prejudice, nature, relationships etc. Besides completing the tasks found in the "holes," students also prepare a final presentation of their choice (power point, video, research paper, or original).Note that the webquest is from a Texas school, so you may want to adjust some of the geographic suggestions they make to fit your region.
