Internet and ICTs will be the key to improve the quality and effectiveness of our teaching.

Working on this webquest the students will explore one of the six regions of the United States:

New England states, the Midd Atlantic states, the South, the Southwest
the Midwest and the West.
Each team must investigate the region’s landmarks, monuments or areas of interest, and create a  fifteen minutes oral presentation… to convince the other students in the class to go and tour this region for a week.

Each member of the team has to choose one of the following roles:
The leader: he/she will conduct team meetings and take final decisions…and conduct the final presentation.
The technician, responsible for the Power Point presentation…
Tha map organizer (create a map of the tour) photos or any other graphics searcher…
The word master, English, accuracy, vocabulary….or tour guide together with the leader.

There will be individual and group marks and they will depend on several aspects such as class work, attitude, quality of work, amount of work, oral presentation, other classmates evaluation, assitence…
Students must have in mind that NOT necessarily everyone in the group will get the same mark!!!!
And … remember this webquest mark will be as important as any written exam.
