Extension activities are also included(and the key).The webquest can be completed in one class period and is geared for upper elementary and middle school students. Can be used before a vacation, for a Friday activity,when you have need of a substitute or if you are studying the ancient Greeks.http://edworldexchange.com/?q=node/465

NOTE: I have revised this produce to reframe from using the word, "olympics" , as I was told the term is trademarked.

The international competition in Sochi, Russia, is a great time to introduce your students to the country of Russia! My webquest contains11 questions,with lots of informative text, that will enable young people to learn lots of information about the country of Russia.
