This week, Hong and I started our search for informative websites. There's a lot of information out there, but we wanted to find a site that is student friendly. Some sites can be a bit overwhelming as the information are not presented in an organized and easy to follow manner. Below is a list of sites that I found.
(The information provided in this site is sorted by colonies. Students can click on the link of each individual colony to find information about the year they were founded, major industry, etc. This site also provides information about daily life during colonial times, such as religion, education, food, and agriculture. This site would be particular helpful for students to find information about the lifestyles of each colony in order for them to make an informed decision on which colony to settle in.)
Next week, Hong and I will review each other's sites and hopefully narrow down the list of sites we want to use for our webquest. We will also be discussing where we want to host our webquest.
Here is another interesting site that I came across that I thought I would share:
This site provides a complete list of names of all the passengers on the Mayflower and their genealogy. It was interesting to find how many famous people descended from Mayflower passengers.
Great- but I'd think it would be more effective to have your hook and task worked out so you could focus your search for appropriate websites accordingly.
