Introduction
Youths are playing as an essential and vital role for the future of their families, communities, and countries. But, nowadays, they are usually busy with social medias and wasting their precious time. As a result, they are totally neglecting to read books that can develop and help the way of their thinking, perspective, and creative mind in orderly. For example, every youth have been watched the movie of Harry Porter but most of the youth haven’s read that book. “Today is a reader, Tomorrow is a leader” by Margaret Fuller. Through reading youths can gain and update their essential and general knowledge of internally and externally. In the part of internally, youths will develop their manner, attitude and behavior unconsciously. In externally youths will be updated their skills, knowledge, and value. So reading is the most important weapon to change, see and to think balance in their lives.
From this Web Quest, you particularly have to find out these sub questions. After that, you have to answer two essential questions.
- How many youths are usually reading?
- What kinds of books do they mostly read?
- How much time do they spend for reading a day?
Essential Questions:
- How is reading playing a role in youths’ life?
- How can reading influence youths’ perspective, creative, and imaginative skills?
