• Situation: Meadow Wood (MWE) has been relocated to Westchester (WAIS) this year. How do we get there?
• Task: The class will be divided in 2-3 groups. Each will find two routes from MWE to WAIS. Write directions, using landmarks that you will pass along the way. Determine how long each route is in miles.
• Process: First, find two routes and highlight them on the map using Paint. Then, find landmarks you will pass. Put them on the map. Write directions from MWE to WAIS including the landmarks. Finally, calculate how long the route is in miles.
• Evaluation: Have another group check that they understand the directions and the routes are correct. A rubric will be provided for a check-list of required items.
• Conclusion: Present your WebQuest through PowerPoint to the class!
