Traveling Through History in Old Salem

Introduction

My web quest is about traveling through history using the events from the Old Salem.  Old Salem is a historic district of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It features a living history museum that interprets the restored Moravian community.

  

  You will get to visit a different part of Old Salem using the events from the website. Winston-Salem is known as the City of Arts and Innovation. We have a vibrant arts scene, centralized in the Arts District of downtown, radiating from Trade Street. Enjoy the rich creative local talent as well as national and international artists at the variety of Winston-Salem art galleries.

Process

There are four phases for this   web quest.

Phase 1

Phase 1
Have a brief look at some of the weblinks below.  You may choose to do this as a group, or you may delegate the links to members of your team to bring back the information to the whole group.  Remember that your time is limited though so choose a method which you feel is the most efficient. 

You don't need to go to all the links...in fact you probably only have time for about 3 at the most.  Remember that you task is to view the websites below and be to able to  share this information with your peers, so choose the links you feel are most appropriate for this task.

Phase 2
Work together with your team members  to prepare a  FIFTEEN MINUTES PREZI , covering the topics explained in the Task area.  You should be able to show the important things we should visit on our trip but must use descriptive and informative explanations so that your peers gain at least a basic understanding of the topic.

Try to enthuse them!  Excite them!
