Task

The goal of the WebQuest is for you to gain a solid knowledge base for the Seminole Indian wars, along the way you will need to:

  Get in a group of 4 people.

  Search 4-6 websites which are provided under the Process section for solid information on the Seminole Wars.

  With information create a board game, taking us on a journey through the Seminole Wars. (Facts must be used in     some fashion, question cards are a good way to do this, be creative.)

  Your group will create a Timeline, which will include all significant events you find in your research starting with the beginning of the Wars and ending with the end of the last Seminole War.

  Last your group will prepare a Mini-Oral presentation explaining to the class what you have learned. (Hint: your timeline will be a good prop for this and helpful in explaining it to the class.)

  Now you should be an Expert!!!!!
