Kitchen Remodel

This WebQuest was created to challenge students to think critically about budgets, customer service, salesmanship and the use of technology to present ideas.

The other benefit I hope to accomplish with this lesson is critical thinking when decisions involve compromise. I've set the budget at a level so students will need to make trade-offs on what they select. Ultimately, with the budget provided, they will likely not meet all their prospect's requirements.

I would think in a group format this assignment can be completed in 2-3 class periods.
