Step 3. Working with Webquests

Subsequently, students will have at their disposal the following Webquests to have direct access to information dealing with real aspects of the culture of the United States such as press, gastronomy, festivities, lifestyle, touristic attractions, etc; they must click here to gain access to the Webquests: http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/ts/viewTrack.do?number=420628 . Once they enter the website, they will have to click in View in Frames in order to see the content of the Webquests. Then, students will have to read all the sections of the page and do the activities proposed in order to create their own outline containing all the information that they extracted from this website.

Once students had read all the sessions of the Webquests and had done the activities which are presented in relation to each specific topic (festivities, gastronomy, sports, newspapers, etc), they will have to expose in the session of the blog corresponding to –Working with Webquests- their own conclusions about the aspects which they liked the most by means of a comment  (by using the mail account that they previously created). Later on, their comments will be debated in the classroom so that students will communicate among them, which will improve their friendship and speaking skills.

* Goal of the activity:  to make students familiarize with Webquests and learn in a very dynamic way much more information about USA, which will foster their cultural knowledge, tolerance and their desire for learning.
