This webquest called "Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall- You Will Find Me in the Mall" asks students to research the weather associated
with each season and then decide what the appropriate clothing would be for this weather. This webquestwould be good for my class of kindergarten or first graders, because it is fairly simple. The webquest even provides links to sites where the students could find the information. This webquest is a little bit reading intensive though, so some students might need help in reading directions and reading information on the sites. In order to implement this webquest the teacher will need computers and internet access for each group of students. They will also need materials to record and present their findings to the rest of the class. The webquest also suggests doing a fashion show for the different seasons where the students would model a piece of clothing for a particular season and explain why they might need it. I think this activity would not take more than 2 hours, because a group of students is assigned to each season. Presenting the material to their classmates might take some extra time though.

Sounds like a great early elementary webquest. That can sometimes be a tough group to work with on the computers. You’re smart to recognize that the reading might be a problem.
