The goal of this webquest is to have students understand the overall concepts of survival, power, and evolution. Students will examine certain historical events, song lyrics, and modern culture for examples of the guiding concepts. The examples students use relate directly to the book "Lord of the Flies."
Teacher Introduction
Power is a huge concept, and transcends across multiple cirriculums. By relating it to a huge modern issue, students will have a lot of access to current information. Students can also track the progress and ideas of the next President while they are in office. The presidential campaign also interests a lot of students, and deals with issues they feel passionately about. The strong intinsic motivation will help the students complete the webquest with ease and interest.
