How Teachers can Develop a WebQuest for an Ellis Island Virtual Tour

This is a WebQuest to support teachers who are tasked with developing a sixth grade Virtual Tour of Ellis Island.  The scenario/task requires the teacher to research sufficient on-line resources and review the attached information to enable them to develop a 6th Grade Ellis Island Virtual Tour, a student Virtual Tour Immigration Worksheet, and an Answer Key for the Worksheet.

The effectiveness of the project results will be determined by (1) the Rubric assigned to this project, and (2) the 6th Grade students ability to successfully complete the Virtual Tour Worksheet, after they review the teachers recommended on-line resources.

We invite Feedback and Suggestions for improving this WebQuest at [email protected].
