Mulitmedia Project

I asked my team which topic they have to most difficulty finding and coming up ideas for, and they all decided that Folktales, Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, Davy Crockett, John Henry and Annie Oakley. Folktales are at then end of the year, and we always struggle with finding something new for folktales. My idea for the Multimedia Project was to create a type of scavenger hunt with the folktales. It will take a couple days for the students to complete the scavenger hunt. I plan to use video and audio clues, as well as links to websites. Since this is going to be used for First Graders, I will design it with them in mind, to make the WebQuest more appealing to them. We have laptop carts that we can check out, and a great computer lab that we can use to access computers as a class. I'm designing this to be done in a whole group setting, since it is geared toward first graders, it's easier to manage the class when we're all doing the same thing in the computer lab or lap tops! Right now, it seems like a lot of work, but I know that once I start adding the pages it will start moving along... I hope!!
