Introduction
Title My WebQuest has students plan a vacation for their family. Working alone each student will
research cities around the world that would be interesting and historical for their families to
Introduction visit. Each student will decide what time of the year they will go, where they will stay, what
they will do, and what airline they will take to get there. They will be on their vacation for ten
Task days. At the end the students will have written a paper of the historical city they are interested
in visiting which also answers all the questions above.

Conclusion
I am sure many of you have taken family vacations and even those of you who haven't, wouldn't you
love to plan one yourself? Well now you can. You will get to choose any place in the world that you
want. You find the hotel and the airline. You get to decide when you are going. Everything is up to
you. After finding out all you need to know you will be able to type a paper and later present it to
class with where you want to take your vacation. This will be a fun project for all of you, so I hope
you all pick cities you would really like to visit. Money is no object, so pick as many nice things as
you want. Have Fun!!!
