English 10 WebQuest Assignment ­ Summer 2016
This summer you will explore the amazing resources available on the internet by participating in a WebQuest. A WebQuest is a lot like a scavenger hunt. You will be asked a series of questions about a topic and it is your job to go on a quest on the world wide web to help you find the answers to those questions. When you are done, you will prepare a Google Slides presentation to share with your classmates. This information will serve as background information for our first book,​
