country music webquest

I chose this particular web quest for many reasons. I first found the subject matter quite interesting. It was really cool to see how a teacher connected country music ( something that was a part of their students' culture) to ideas of freedoms and other historical themes. Secondly, this web quest was chosen as by the state of Texas as one of the top ten Internet sites concerning American symbols of freedom. This web quest presented an interesting task concerning the use of the country music as a symbol of freedom. This site has an excellent introduction, task, and process, all of which are key components for any good web quest.And while, this site is very informative, it is also lacking key components of a proper web quest. it does not have an evaluation, conclusion, or a proper teaching page. It does have a "teacher's resources" option, but I question if it is as informative as a teacher page should be. Overall I would say that this web quest would be an excellent teaching tool, but may need to be tweaked a little to achieve optimal effectiveness. country music webquest
