Dear teachers:

My objective in this webquest was to include many interactive activities so that the students could learn about money (especially coins) and the different amounts they represent.

- I begin with a video as an introduction to the topic so the students learn a little about the creation of the coins.

- Then, they read a poem in pairs in order to apply communicative skills and they also have to focus on the content because then they are going to answer some questions.

- When they finish doing this, they have the opportunity to practice what they learned but playing. They will have to access to the wabpages listed and complete the activities they find.

I consider that when the students complete all the tasks, they will be able to distinguish the different coins we handle and their amounts.

I hope you enjoyed my webquest!
