Step One:

Select a team captian which will be the leader through out this WebQuest, he/she will assign parts and turn in a progress report for all the teammates for each section of the project.

Step Two:

You and your teammates need to begin collecting clues from the websites, on WHEN and WHERE the Seminole Wars were fought. This will help with your project.

Step Three:

You and your team will begin to create a game taking the players on a journey through the Seminole Wars. Assign your team parts in which they will do. 

• 1-2 team members will design the board game.(Be Creative)

• 1 team member will create trivia questions and/or facts related to the Seminole War to incorporate into the game.

• 1 team member make the rules for the game, include the objective.

Step Four:

The team will create a Timeline which will begin with the first Seminole War until the end of the last Seminole War. Again, be creative, include pictures these can be found on websites.

You team will have a 5 minute oral presentation telling the rest of the class what you have learned form this WebQuest. Your timeline will be a great tool to use during the presentation, it will help you to place events in chronological order.
