Overview:
Students work individually or in small teams to enter the imaginary
contest "Taking Freedom For Granted." For the project, each student
or student team completes two assignments. First, they write an
essay about freedom in America. Second, they choose and complete
one of the following activities: create a scrapbook about freedom
in the United States; make four posters about the Four Freedoms;
or develop a multimedia presentation about freedom. As students
complete the research necessary to complete those assignments, they
also answer the12 questions on The
Four Freedoms WebQuest Worksheet. In addition, students complete
the Bibliographic
Citations Worksheet to create a bibliography of the online and
print resources they used.
Notes: This extensive
WebQuest includes resources for bibliography formats and copyright
rules. All links are active on the posting date for this project.
In the Resources
