Look at some of the WebQuests for the lower elementary grades. Although the format and structure of most of the WebQuests lend themselves to readers, we need to locate and structure WebQuests for the non and limited reader. These would also apply to non-english speakers/readers. |

What are some alternatives to using WebQuests for students who can't read the instructions? You could create the pages the students link to! |

Think about the final project(s) you have your students do. Involve technology in some way to make full use of the WebQuest structure. Include the assessment tool you will use to evaluate. |
