This
WebQuest was designed for the 7th grade French cycle. It supports the New Jersey Core Content Curriculum Standard
7.2, which states, “All students will demonstrate an understanding of the
perspectives of a culture(s) through experiences with its products and
practices.” Most of the research will take place in the computer lab,
utilizing the World Wide Web. Additional resources may include other print
resources such as magazines, travel brochures, and art reproductions.
Your
family has decided to take a trip to France.
It’s the first time you have been to France and you are all excited.
This is your chance to absorb as much of France and what it has to offer
in just one week. The problem is that each one of you has different interests,
so you must make an itinerary that fits all of your interests and needs.
Once you are in France you have to visit all of these fun and exciting
places and bring back information and pictures for a scrapbook.
You want to have a great trip and bring back plenty of memories.
Your task as a “family” is to search the net for places in France that fit your interests. “Visit” these places, gather information, and take “photos” of the places you visit. When you get back “home” you will put all of the information and “photos” into a scrapbook so you can have a place for all of your family’s memories of your trip to France. You will also be able to share these memories with your friends and relatives (classmates).
You
will be assigned a “family” of four people:
a dad, a mom, a sister, and a brother.
Each member has different interests and wants to “visit” different
places:
Sister
– Sister wants to see all the hot spots!
She has learned all about France and
wants to see the famous monuments. She
also loves art and wants to visit museums.
