Introduction:
Pretend you're living in prehistoric time, in the time of the dinosaurs. Wouldn't it be great to have one as a pet?! I'm sure you would love to ride on a Triceratops or take your Tyrannosaurus Rex for a walk. How about flying on a Pterodactyl? You are going to have the chance to learn about these animals and write a persuasive piece to ask your parents if you could have your very own dinosaur!
Process:
First you are going to pick a dinosaur that you would love to have as a pet.
Triceratops
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Pterodactyl
Using these websites, find 3 facts about the dinosaur that would make it a cool pet! What does the dinosaur eat? How big is the dinosaur? How much does it weigh?
When you are writing your piece and then presenting it to the class, make sure you add details that would convince someone to get the dinosaur as a pet!
Following a webquest would be a fun activity for students. They are able to incorporate research skills and technology into one project. There are many other activities and standards that can be incorporated such as writing, math, and reading skills to name a few. Creating this webquest was harder than it seemed. I found many templates and ideas, but I have never created or participated in a webquest, so this was a new experience for me. I think with some practice, I will be able to find and create better webquests to use in my classroom
