Target Learners


This WebQuest is designed for average to high-leveled writers in third grade to complete independently after the class has covered rules of capitalization, punctuation, and subject-verb agreement; strong verbs; focused/on-topic writing; and expository writing.

If students struggle with any of the steps as they proceed through the WebQuest, the teacher may want to provide mini-lessons to small groups in order for the students to experience greater success and enjoyment during the experience.


In order to allow all students access to this experience, this WebQuest is intended as an in-class activity.  However, it can be completed outside of school if a student has access to the internet elsewhere.
