Change and Consequences | Create WebQuest

Introduction

From the time we are born until the time we die, change is inevitable. Some changes we initiate ourselves. Other changes are initated by others, or nature. Some changes we can control and others we cannot escape. This webquest is an opportunity to explore change from multiple perspectives and to learn to react positively when faced with uncontrollable circumstances.
