Babel - Bringing Teachers Together

Webquests are an older, but still useful tool for gathering information.

Owe that hurt

As you are reading Heart of Darkness, you may feel that the meaning of the story is very hazy. How do you go about making sense of a story as obscure as Heart of Darkness? This WebQuest may be of some help. It will help you learn just how some critics have come up with their interpretations of Heart of Darkness and encourage you to develop your own critical stance on the book. On your journey toward meaning, you will follow Marlow up the Congo River, shedding light on the heart of darkness as you proceed, finally arriving at a better understanding of this evasive book.

The purpose of this webquest is to introduce students to important poetry terms and short, closed form poetry. I'd like to give credit to Mrs. Schwartz who created this webquest - I've modified some of the instruction and Task #3.

Students will research Turkey and Armenia to look at each culture. Next they will complete a powerpoint presentation on their portion of the research. Students will then write a one page essay on why they think the differences in the two cultures may have helped cause the Armenian Genocide.
