The Last Chapter But a New Beginning

Introduction

Some of us have been at for 9 years, some more, and some less, but we all have memories here we need to look back on. Every student at ACS has different memories and everyone needs to llok back on those good times. This webquest will help you look back on those great memories

Task

During this webquest you will be looking back on many of your memories. We will be doing this by many tasks that will help jog your memory, and hopefully will help you remember you favorite times at ACS. This is important because most of us have been here for a long time and need to remember we had at ACS before we leave. During these activities I hope it will bring back memories that we all need to remember before we leave and start new chapter in our lives.
