Introduction
In this webquest, students will learn which are the most important cultural monuments in some parts of Croatia. Croatian cultural heritage is one of the few european heritage created under various european influences.
In the course of history, our country was at the same time under different states and empires, which has reflected on the architecture, art and customs of these parts. For example, during the 15th and 16th centuries only, Dalmatia and Istria were under Italian rule, Zagreb and northern Croatia under Austrian, and Slavonia under Turkish occupation.
For that reason cultural; tangible, and intangible, heritage of Croatia represents a rare sight of styles in Europe.
Task
Pupils work in four groups to better cover each region. They learn about the culture and monuments of our country. The aim is to present their region in the best possible way so that those who were presented this work would get the urge to come to this part of Croatia.
Presentation is done in Power Point presentation.
Process
Students are divided into four groups.
Each group researches one region:
Group 1: Zagreb and Northern Croatia
Group 2: Slavonia
Group 3: Istria
Group 4: Dalmatia
