I added 3 different WebQuests that were not viewed by other practicum students yet. All the WebQuests are engaging and seemed fun and interesting as well as a great way of learning without realizing you are learning.
1) In the retelling section, I placed the story telling WebQuest. It has students looking back and realizing what a book can bring to the table. From this WebQuest, a student will read a book from the past and retell it in their own way. I found it interesting for me because I will be an English teacher in the future and want to incorporate something like this in one of my units/lessons in the future.

2) In the "well-done" introduction section, I placed the WebQuest on the Great Depression. This WebQuest posed questions right off and seemed intriguing. Would you survive without money? How would you feel if you had a dime and had to chose food, gas or a luxury item? This allows students to think about their lives in general and realize that they have all they really need. It would be great for history teacher to place their students in situations like this.

3) In the persuasion section, I placed the smoking WebQuest. This WebQuest would be great for a high school health teacher because it allows students to find risks, stats, and a way to persuade "Sydney" to stop smoking. I was drawn to it because of the graphics and for the fact that I don't want my students to start the horrible habit that I started years ago. Because its so hard to stop, if I knew the facts, I would have never started. This WebQuest totally hit home and I think it would be a great learning experience to indulge our students into it.
