My own WebQuest - new thoughts...
Ok, I planned to do a WebQuest on gap years. And I started designing it... I really liked the idea. But: It was so difficult to find neutral websites on this topic. They're all so commercial - and I didn't like that. So I decided to do something else. This time I chose a very traditional topic of British culture: Queen Elizabeth II. I think that she is a very important person in British History already, particularly because she is has been reigning the country for so many years now. So why don't we bring our pupils closer to a British monarch that is still alive rather than talking only about former kings and queens? Furthermore, the yellow press makes people think that there's nothing more to Elizabeth II. than her childrens' scandals and affairs. We should inform our pupils that there's more!
