Cuban Missile Crisis

You Americans are so mean to everyone! you all want people to choose their ruler but you wont let them choose their government? Whaddup with that? Yea Cuba doesnt like you, they are our BFF so dont hate when we put missiles facing your American cities.  It is not our fault that the wind pushed them that way... Maybe you should take your missiles out of Turkey and then well talk...
-5 minutes later-
Okay, well take our missiles out of Cuba just take yours out of Turkey, deal? PLEASE!
     - Super sorry,

Webquests BAD :(

Here is my example of a poorly made Webquest: http://questgarden.com/124/40/3/110414172626/
In my opinion it is poor due to the nature of how it is presented.  It is hard to see the links due to the color pattern, and some are ill effective.  I struggled to find a poor Webquest, and although this was created for 5th graders I believe it could have been done better.  I like the "create a persuasive letter" idea, but I believe it may be a little too challenging for the students to complete at that age.

Webquests GOOD! :)

this is my example of a fine webquest: http://www.historyglobe.com/jamestown/
Here students are asked to enter a journey of the lives of these settlers.  It provides students with all the information needed and has students make critical decisions that affect their next step.  it gives students the background information necessary to understand their positions thoroughly
