WEBQUESTS
Webquests are an interactive way for students to explore information. All of the webquests here on MythologyTeacher. com are self-contained, which means they do not send students out on a search of the worldwide web. Instead the relevant information can all be found on the same website. (There are a few exceptions.) Below is a listing of the different webquests offered here.
