Mrs. Caufield's Web Quests and Other Projects

 

A Web Quest is a project done on the Internet.  There are many Web Quests out there on the Internet that teachers and students can take advantage of.  I have created several of my own Web Quests with a few of my colleagues.  I will be using these with my classes during the year.  Below you will find the links for these Web Quests as well as a Poetry Project

  Your Favorite Poem Project  
This is a project for 8th grade.  Students are given the opportunity to visit the Favorite Poem Project Web Page.  While there, students will listen to others read their favorite poem and explain why they chose it.  Then students will explore poetry sites and poetry books to search for their favorite poems.  Finally students will create a video or an oral presentation in which they will read their favorite poems and explain why they chose it.
