Description
|
"Have you ever watched Sesame Street and seen the puppets? Which is your favorite? People all over the world enjoy puppets and each country's puppets are different.
We're going to use the World Wide Web to visit different countries and find out what the puppets are like in each one. Then you will make a puppet and write a play for that puppet. When we're all done, we'll have a puppet show!"

What makes this an interesting WebQuest
|
- Note: This is a really good WebQuest, but it hasn't been updated in years. So use it as a model, not something to implement in the classroom as is.
- Good emphasis on supporting student creativity
- Nice array of a variety of puppets will broaden student understanding
- Look to the "Closing Activity" and #4 and make sure to scaffold for the question "Did they incorporate ideas from the cultures in their own puppets? "
