Holidays and Celebrations in English Speaking Countries

Hello, fellow!

A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites.

This kind of resource is very easy to create, it does not take a lot of time to do it. This resource fits perfect in a lesson plan and any kind of topic you want your students to develop. 

I recommend to you to follow step by step this process, so you are not going to have misunderstanding with it.
