WebQuests for Academic
Writing -
ESL/EFL
Start Here:
Bernie
Dodge's WebQuest page: http://webquest.org/
has many Useful Resources (tab on left), including a
search engine,
help videos, a quest template, etc.
Examples:
Lots of WebQuests for
ESL/EFL
Most of
these ESL/EFL WebQuests were created during the
2007 Electronic Village
Online session, Creating
Webquests, moderated by Paula Emmert. These may be of
varying
quality, but they give you a good idea of the
range that can be
achieved. Some are not ESL/EFL. Where URLs were
missing, I have
substituted others. Many WebQuests can be found by
searching the QuestGarden
(free for 30 days). Enjoy your explorations!
