WebQuest
Conspiracy Theory, Real Or Not?
Teacher Page
This WebQuest is about critical thinking. It is concerned with education as a means to achieve specific goals by those who are in a position to control outcomes. While we might hope that their intentions are always for the good of individuals, e.g., as provided for in the U.S. Bill of Rights, it should not be assumed to be so.
