Societies Journal WebQuest

Directions: In order to complete our project on different types of societies, we need to research more in-depth information on each of the different types of societies.
 

 

1)      You should look for the following facts on your society (at least!  You may want to include other information as well):

o   How they make “a living” (may not mean with money)

o   How they interact with their environment/surroundings

o   How they interact with each other

o   What statuses and roles exist within this society  

 

2)      You will then create FIVE journal entries from the perspective of a teenager living in your assigned society.  You will combine your journal entries with those of your classmates to create an all-inclusive journal of the experiences of teenagers within all the different types of societies.

 

The list at the bottom of this page includes websites that are suggested to use for your research of each type of society.
