Weddings Around the World  

Teachers,

This WebQuest is designed to provide the opportunity for students to explore wedding traditions around the world, dealing with many aspects of the process of planning a wedding. Each student is assigned one of the following roles: Engagement Guru, Financial Adviser, Wedding Official, and Party Planner.

a.    Engagement Guru-the expert on pre-wedding cultural traditions.

b.    Financial Advisor-the expert on finances, both pre and post-wedding.

c.     Wedding Official-the expert on traditions of the actual wedding ceremony.

d.    Party Planner-the expert on the celebration and post-wedding customs.

 This WebQuest is intended for intermediate to advanced EFL learners at either the high school or adult level.  All research, communication, and creation will be done in English.

Each student will become the expert his/her new title implies by researching to find answers to the guiding questions in the task. Each group will come together to discuss their findings. The group will use their combined new knowledge and work together to create a traditional wedding plan to be published in a Power Point presentation or a web site.  The authors foresee the project encompassing a 7-10 day period (2 days for individual research , 1 day for discussion of research, 2 days for designing wedding plan, 2 days for creation of final product, and 1-2 days for presentations.) Certainly, timelines will vary depending on individual circumstances.
