"No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical." //Niels Bohr//

A wise teacher once suggested that through discovery students gain ownership of what they are learning. This activity has been developed to give you opportunity and ownership regarding the World War II Unit which you are about to begin. I could lecture you for hours about the WWII I could tell you what I know. Or I could allow you to make some discoveries and share them. This year, you'll be making discoveries, and I will guide you on your educational journey instead of droning on and on. This Web quest basically involves the following: -- You become a member of a three person group and accept a role in the group -- Your group is given a list of paths to explore -- Your group goes exploring on the Internet (Using the suggested sites) and you record information -- Your group develops a project on a part of your research that you find interesting -- Your group turns in documentation of your 'travels' on the assigned paths -- Your group presents your project in the form of a research paper and wiki entry for the class
