Latin WebQuest

There seems to be quite a scarcity of Latin WebQuests online, but luckily Latin classes include a great deal of emphasis on history, mythology, and archaeology. One of the better WebQuests on archaeology is available from a Kentucky-based distance learning company. Although the use of higher-order thinking is not essential to this project, students are constantly having to gather and apply information on the project and communicate effectively with members of their community.
The project is designed to make students consider the ruins of yesterday and how buildings today might share some similarities with these ruins. At the same time, the WebQuest familiarizes students with several recently excavated archaeology sites.
