Reforms Web Quest Activity
Directions:
In pairs [of 2], you will create web quests over TWO of the following reform movements
(education, prison, anti-slavery, or women’s rights). The TWO reform movements in which
you will create your web quests over will be assigned to you. Use the example web quest
that you completed for HW this week over the TEMPERANCE REFORM MOVEMENT as a
guide (though you are NOT required to follow it verbatim).
-
Each pair will have ONE day (Monday) to complete the reform movement web quests; on the
SECOND day of this activity (Tuesday), you will complete a peer’s activity over the 2
reform movements NOT assigned to you.
-
The multiple choice questions created for EACH activity WILL BE USED on a QUIZ at
the end of the week over the various reform movements.
-
Each reform web quest MUST include the following (again, refer to the example completed
for HW this week):

3 sections

1 activity per section (i.e., body biography, political cartoon, etc.) – INCLUDE
WEBSITES on activity

At least 1 website per section (from provided list – do NOT deviate from websites
given)

5 multiple choice questions to reflect information learned about the reform movement
or reformers (from the activity) [5 per reform movement = 10 total]
