Literature-based WebQuests
WebQuests provide an authentic, technology-rich environment for problem solving, information processing, and collaboration. This inquiry-based approach to learning involves students in tasks that make good use of Internet-based resources. A literature-based webquest uses a book(s) as a focal point for activities. Tasks might involve the theme, characters, plot, or setting of the book.
 
Bernie Dodge developed the WebQuest concept back in the mid 1990s. To learn more about WebQuests, check out his website at WebQuest.org.
