Greek Mythology Tabloid!

We live in a world where tabloids have over run us. The rapid, in your face nature of it appeals to students. They like the salaciousness and the bigger then life antics of the famous for being famous crowd that frequent the articles and news reports. What more over the top literary genre can you get then Greek mythology. Gods, heroes and monsters living, fighting and loving their larger than normal lives.

This webquest brings together Greek mythology and tabloids, it allows for multiple disciplines (the artist, the writer, the computer whiz, and the spatial learner) to all have their moments to shine. There's a writing aspect for all the students. They have freedom to chose the actual gods & heroes they discover in there webquest. 

For me it covers important aspects of creation and freedom of choice. It covers several levels of Bloom's Taxonomy and creates a co-operative learning situation - part of the rubric mentions whether or not students had to be prompted by their peers to contribute their portions. The students are accountable on a additional level to each other.

This webquest is the best at combining real world interests with educational goals!
