The aim of this webquest is to teach the students the famous sights of London.
They have to form groups of 2-3 pupils and create a portfolio and a poster. Both should contain four sights of London with a description of each sight in approx. 20 words and a picture of each sight. In the end students have to present their portfolios and posters and prepare a map and a location plan. They need to find out which tube line or way to use to reach the sigth.
The final step is a little quiz. The quiz should help to tighten the student´s knowledge about certain sights.
For creating the poster the students have to work with the computer and the internet. So they can improve their internet search skills and computer skills. Furthermore, they have to show their ability to work in a team, their creativity and their ability to work independently.
