The project must have the following characteristics:

1. It must utilize at least five (5) of the American Memory collections

2. It must require your students to browse the collections

3. It must have a clear academic goal tied to the Illinois Learning Standards for your chosen grade level

4. It must be designed as a lesson plan, including a grading rubric, objectives, and adaptations

My assumption is that you will create a webquest, but that is not an absolute requirement of the assignment. The following are sites you can use as tools in creating webquests.

Your first step in this process is to do a bit of reading: http://webquest.sdsu.edu/designsteps/index.html Go to this site and follow each of the links, studying the contents of each link.

You might also want to look at this discussion: http://webquest.sdsu.edu/adapting/index.html

And here are some other links you might want to look at. http://connections.smsd.org/highlands/creating_webquests.htm http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech011.shtml http://teacherweb.com/TWQuest.htm

And, there are a number of other such sites. Feel free to hunt down one you like. Just Google "creating webquests"

If you prefer to model your assignment on one of these, feel free.
