Sonnets and WebQuests


To the left, you can see a picture of the first page introduction to the WebQuest I analyzed and posted on my group's Wiki page. The WebQuest is a great tool, but to find the right one takes time and discernment. I finally chose one that focused on teaching students about sonnets, the Shakespearean and Petrarch in particular. The activity was engaging and rich with learning opportunities. Students will be able to research and learn about the topics in smaller groups and later present their findings to the class. At the conclusion of the exercise, students will flex their creative muscles and compose their own sonnets using the knowledge they have acquired during the WebQuest.
