Introduction
Welcome to the Webquest for today's social studies class! Picture this...
It is Year 4033 and all history has been forgotten. The new-age American historians need to rewrite its historical documents to preserve the past. As they combed through the obsolete, and mostly deleted, service called "The Internet," they came across a series of functioning websites that highlight the use of fashion and how it defined pop culture as a whole. It is YOUR job to research these links, rewrite the timeline, and save the past from being forgotten! Many of these websites are multi-modal, meaning, they have pictures, videos, and more to access. Good luck.
Task
Please review the hyperlinks in the WebQuest to guide what information you include in the timeline. Below are some questions to help guide your research:
- What decade does this hyperlink tell us about?
- What is the most important defining feature of this fashion trend?
- Are there pictures to access in this website? Can I safely copy and transfer them elsewhere?
The expectation is that students will answer/apply these three questions when filling out the timeline
Process
Steps to complete this assignment:
- Click on a hyperlink
- Read the article
- Find essential information and pictures
- Return to WebQuest and complete the missing blanks in the timeline. The blanks should include a short defining caption with an accompanying photo.
