Webquest To Do

1) Begin by understanding your task - to persuade a Taliban (they are coming in the novel...) that Kite Running is vital to Afghanistan. You can use your understanding of the history, customs, religion, education and struggles of the country to make your argument effective.

2) Decide on whether you want to do a newspaper (think a few different stories and images) or a powerpoint presentation.

3) Use the links on the webquest to do some research and collect some notes. Remember you are searching for information that can be used to be persuasive.

4) Transform your notes into your newspaper or powerpoint. Your notes can be combined with your original notes (on becoming an Afghanistan expert). Your notes are to be collected by yourself but you can create the newspaper/powerpoint in a small  group.

5) You will be provided several classes to work on this. Newspapers will be displayed in class. Powerpoints will be uploaded to this blog. Notes will also be handed in for credit.
