Grade: 3
This Wequest is good for use in the inclusive classroom because it is a group-work activity, it encourages higher order thinking, includes a variety of visuals, and has explicit instructions.

=Standards= SS.3.G.2.2: Identify the five regions of the United States.

=Process= To begin, the teacher will put students into small groups, group size is variable depending on the number of computers available for classroom use. Once the groups have been set up, the teacher will have students open the Webquest link and begin working through the student sections of the Webquest. The teacher should be walking around the room, making him(her)self available to answer any questions the students might have. Walking around also allows the teacher to assess student learning. Altogether, this Webquest should take approximately two days to complete; one day can be used for introducing the task and beginning research, the other day can be spent finishing up research and putting together the itinerary.


 * Note: Teachers, feel free to adjust this Webquest to your curriculum as you see fit, the links listed in the student "Process" section are meant to serve as a general guideline for this Webquest, but are certainly not the only good links out there!
