WebQuest: What Is It? A WebQuest is when we use the internet to find information about a topic. Then we apply our knowledge to create something new!

Introduction You have learned all about Greek Mythology… now let’s apply that knowledge! Choose one of the 12 Olympian Gods and Goddesses to invite to dinner! You will write a friendly letter to the God or Goddess explaining WHY you want them to come to your house! …tell Mom and Dad to expect one more guest for dinner tonight!

You will write a Friendly Letter to the God/Goddess of your choice inviting them to dinner. They will accept your invitation IF you can convince them with all your knowledge about who they are and what they do, who their family and friends are and what stories they are in, and clear writing conventions that tell them YOU are a smarty-pants worth visiting! Include some questions that they will want to talk about and answer at dinner!
