La Vie Quotidienne: Les arrondissements

This WebQuest teaches students about the 20 Arrondisements of Paris and encourages them to research all there is to do in certain ones. Preceding this WebQuest, I did a lesson about towns and cities, in which students learned common establishments that make up a neighborhood, such as stores, banks, restaurants, hospitals, parks, etc. It would probably take 2-3 days for students to complete this WebQuest in the classroom, but it could be altered to fit your schedule.
