Step #2: Now that you have completed your webquest, you will use this information to create a "web" using Kidspiration software.
Your Kidspiration web should contain the following:
- A catchy title
- Your full name and grade
- At least 7 facts about butterflies written in complete sentences
- At least 7 graphics relevant to your facts about butterflies
- Correct grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation
Once your web is complete, you should edit/proofread it, print it, then share it with your classmates and teacher. Be creative and have fun!
Here is a Kidspiration tutorial in case you need a refresher on how to use this software:
