The Gift of Their Lives grades 3-9
This WebQuest focuses on some great "heroes of peace" from the last 100-years! Students learn about changes in HOW people treat one another throughout the past century. The Process begins with reading a story called "The Wise Ones." Then students are asked to focus research on a specific peacemaker: Muhammad Ali, Mahatma Ghandi, Jane Goodall, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, or Desmond Tutu. Students are challenged to create a story (similar to the introduction story) involving the person they researched. ALL of the links to research are provided and were up to date at the time of this review. A scoring rubric is provided. Teachers - be sure to visit the Teacher Note section for additional information about this site.
