My webquest is geared towards an 8th grade English class. The object is for them to write a persuasive essay where they take a position on a topic and are able to back it up.
Teacher Introduction
As we grow older everyone needs to learn the art of persuasion to help them out in the future. This assignment is designed so that my students can use persuasion in a manner that could potentially be a realistic situation for them someday.
