This WebQuest is designed to give students who are reading books by Merton a better understanding of who he was.

Teacher Introduction

My ESL students read books by Thomas Merton in the spring semester.  This is not an easy task, but they are motivated.  I want to provide them with an introduction to Merton before we actually begin with his books as a way to prepare them for what will come.  This WebQuest will let them learn about the man and gradually work their way into his writing.
