It encourages students to explore different historical landmarks using the Internet. Students will discover what America has to offer and why these historical landmarks are significant today. • This lesson is designed for 5th-6th grade students studying U.S. History in Social Studies. The WebQuest does not follow any particular SOL requirements. However, it encourages students to practice their researching skills, to work well with others, and to practice their presentation skills. • The lesson is designed for students to work in groups, however, it can be modified so that students work individually or as a whole class. • Depending on where schools are located, it would be neat to take a field trip to some of the historical landmarks mentioned in the WebQuest.
