Bridge to Terabithia WebQuest

Here's another great webquest on a more traditional piece of adolescent lit, THE BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA.

This webquest combines ELA content objectives (vocabulary; themes; critical thinking) with creative writing and cooperative learning, and does it in a way that ties in really nicely to the content of the book -- each task in the webquest creates a piece of the bridge to get to Terabithia. The final piece of the bridge cannot be completed alone -- it is either completed with a partner or with the entire class' assistance. This works beautifully with the theme of cooperation and friendship that Jess, the book's protagonist, learns.
