Currently in my class we are reading the novel Esperanza Rising. At my school our QUEST program is pulled during reading. They are also reading the novel during their reading time as well. I needed to do some type of enrichement for my QUEST students while I was busy working with my reading group. During my research online I found a great WebQuest on the novel. The students are in groups of 4 and each take on a role from the novel. On the WebQuest the directions are clearly stated for the students. Each student will write a expository article and narrative article on their character. As a group the students will develop a magazine using Microsoft Publisher. They have the freedom to be as creative as possible. So far it has been working wonderfully. I think the students are enjoying the opportunity to take an idea and "run with it."

I think WebQuest are great for students because they offer some much opportunity to use different types of technology such as videos, podcast, internet research, etc.
