Stone Fox Resources
Research Project – pre-reading webquest that looks very, very good but has many broken research
links and the rubric link is no longer there, however, if anyone wants to do this I am sure that we can
find new links and work something out, if nothing else it may be a good source of ideas -

Digging Deeper with the Stone Fox – A post-reading webquest looks very good and thorough,
links appear to be in order though some of the official Wyoming ones may have changed, and again we
can work around this. “Students will research the state of Wyoming and dogsled racing. The
lesson gives the student a chance to show their comprehension of the story by creating an article for the
Jackson, Wyoming newspaper. Also, the students can use their creativity in designing a t-shirt for the
entrants. The lesson will take about a week to complete” http://www.zunal.com/webquest.php?w=1633
