The purpose of the WebQuest was made for my media and technology class for my undergraduate program. This web quest will focus on an 8th grade standard of Georgia History SS8H2. The student will analyze the colonial period of Georgia’s history.
Introduction:
The establishment of Georgia was made possible by King George II of England. The man chosen for to lead this adventure was James Oglethorpe.
In 1732, Oglethorpe and 125 settlers set sail for the new world. Upon arriving the settlers named the colony Georgia after the King back in England. After arriving the establishment of towns became important as well as building a relationship with the Yamacraw Indians.
