QuickQuest

I have created webquests before, but I have to admit that I'm a fan after creating my first QuickQuest. I decided to create my quest about disabilities as my 7th graders were studying this concept. The quest will be used when students are finished reading their disabilities novel. Each novel addressed different disabilities; therefore, different family situation, problems, and solutions were addressed as well. The QuickQuest I created asked my students to put themselves in the shoes of a family member that has to relocate to a new city while making sure their disabled brother is taken care of as well. I expect the quest to push students to new ideas because the majority of my students have no experience with dealing with a disability in any way, shape, or form much less living with a disabled sibling.

Thanks!
