Of+Mice+and+Men+WebQuest+Process

Process

 * Open Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox and go to [|www.google.com] . This is where I expect you to research all of your information. If you would like to use another search engine, then you ask either teacher (Ms. Santos or Ms. Pettigrew) for approval.

Research the following:

· Author (John Steinbeck) · Themes · Setting (What was happening in the world while the novel was being written?) · Symbols · Characters

For more details on how to search for the above, go to the Resources tab, which is located on the left hand side of the screen.

While you conduct your research, take notes on the information you are finding. These notes do not have to be in complete sentences.

You will have the class period to conduct your research. Once you are done researching, you may begin answering the following open-ended responses. If you cannot complete all of the work in one class period, then the open-ended responses may be finished in class tomorrow.

Remember, a paragraph consists of 5-7 sentences and __each response must be one paragraph long__. Please elaborate on your responses!

1) Briefly explain the importance of researching //Of Mice and Men// and John Steinbeck before we begin reading and discussing the novel in class.

2) As you conducted your research, what did you find to be the most important piece of information or what interested you the most. Why or why not? How will this information help you understand the novel better?

3) Now that you have researched the novel, do you look forward to reading it and discussing it with your peers? Why or why not? Do you think you will be able to relate to it (think about the themes)? Why or why not?
