1  Introduction:

Webquests are a great way to learn about a new subject.  The ones listed here use fairly easy English, and are linked to the topics you study in your business classes.  Follow the instructions on the screen, and complete the tasks asked for in each webquest.  These are a small selection from some of the ones available.  If you need to find information about another topic that is not mentioned, type your topic in a search box, e.g. insurance webquest or business webquest,  and see what you can find.

1 Introduction

Webquests are a great way to focus Internet searches. They focus on a topic, and then provide you with tasks and links that help you to complete them. If you type “interior design webquest” in the Google search box, you will find at least 19,000 links to them. The ones in this file are just a sample of some of them. If you like them, complete the tasks and show your teacher a copy of your work.

 

2 Note about Links

The Internet is a wonderful aid for research and many people spend a lot of time developing worksheets for students. Often they provide links that worked the day they completed them, but websites change and sometimes links do not work at a later date. If the link you want does not work, try typing a key word in a search box, and you will find other links that are just as useful. You can access some of the urls by clicking on the links embedded in the webquest pages.

4 Making your Own Webquests

If these webquests are not suitable for your studies, you can make up your own ones, following the format of the ones in this file.
