Canada and Japan Webquest http://www.gecdsb.on.ca/d&g/Japan/japan_can.htm

Social Studies

Chris Gilham from Princess Elizabeth Public School has a terrific claim to fame. He has taught in both Japan and Canada.

Recently, Chris was involved in the Hyperstudio Minicourse and saw the value of multimedia authoring for students and decided to incorporate the activities into a webquest that he crafted.

The purpose of the webquest is to compare and contrast the cultures of the two countries. The student task is to do the research for the project via the Internet and turn it into a multimedia offering.

This very reddish webquest does indeed direct students very nicely to resources that and appropriate and will be incorporated into the final project. Check out the complete webquest at the link above, through the GECDSB Webquest collection on the Student Reference Portal or through the Webquest Locator.
