A webquest lesson plan is a perfect way to incorporate many different learning styles and fun
assignments for students. In this webquest lesson, students incorporate the use of literature circles to
discuss specific novels to understand and analyze life during the Civil War.
In this lesson, I sequenced lessons and concepts to ensure coherence and require prior knowledge
by having students activate prior knowledge by journaling what they know of life during the Civil War.
Students will be able to refer back to their thoughts during their literature circles when discussing with
their groups events occurring in their novels. In addition, the webquest is aligned with the literature
circles to understand how important different battles in the war were to not only the soldiers but as the
civilians as well.
This lesson is designed for student mastery by including differentiated instruction throughout the
lesson. First, students are able to choose roles for their webquest based on the different learning styles.
Some roles are perfect for artistic students, where as others are more for students who appreciate writing
or research. As a group, students are able to come up with presentations that appeal to everyone in the
group based on what they enjoy. Students can make presentations that are more traditional like
PowerPoint, or movie trailers, role-playing, or another creative presentation. With the amount of freedom
and choice included in this lesson, student mastery would be very encouraging.
This lesson plan develops learning experiences that require students to demonstrate a variety of
applicable skills by giving students choice in the webquest as well as different mini assignments in the
literature circles. Unlike the webquest, students will have a different role each meeting for the literature
circle. This allows each student to complete a variety of different skills in the discussion of their novels.
Students will work on their summarizing, vocabulary, analyzing, and connecting skills in the literature
circles. This allows students to evaluate the novel in many different ways.
Built into this lesson are varied instructional strategies including appropriate technology to
provide comprehensible instruction, and to teach for student understanding by including many different
technologies. In this lesson, students use the internet to research different battles of the Civil War, as well

as create different presentations using different internet sources or software. Students will look at
different primary documents, websites, and scholarly journals to understand and comprehend different
facts and events during the Civil War. In addition, students will have the freedom to use different
programs available through the internet to create their presentations including but not limited to prezi,
PowerPoint, and moviemaker.
This webquest lesson plan incorporates many different learning styles and technologies to achieve
the deepest amount of comprehension for students. Through the process of the webquest and literature
circle, students will deeply understand what life was like during the war and the different battles that
affected the people during this time period.
