Shakespeare WebQuest

WebQuest · Grades 8–10 · Doc + answer key · $2.5 or included with All-Access

Students click through to real websites and answer 32 questions about Shakespeare and the world he wrote in. It's a solid launch for any Shakespeare play in grades 8-10.

The webquest is split into five sections, each with its own link. Students have to actually read the pages to find the answers, so it builds research and close-reading habits, not just skimming.
