Purpose
By the end of this WebQuest, you are going to be able to identify differences in genre and explain these differences by making your own Voki presentation tool that will be shared with me and your classmates. You will pick one genre and explain the traits of it with your very own Voki!
Expectations
At this point, you probably do have some basic knowledge of genres and different kinds of books. The overall point of this WebQuest isn't for you to be wow'ed at genres you have never heard of, but to get a firm understanding of what genres are and what makes each of them unique.
Make sure, by the end of this WebQuest, you feel comfortable:
Make sure, by the end of this WebQuest, you feel comfortable:

*Culture
It is no secret that many of the students in this class come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A large part of this WebQuest will allow you students to be able to relate to genres through your own individual cultures and hopefully work with each other in this way.
