WebQuest Enrichment Activity

I would like to thank the students who completed the WebQuest Enrichment Opportunity.  The travel brochures look wonderful, and they are posted on a bulletin board in the classroom.  My students have enjoyed reading these brochures and learning about many different locations and historical landmarks.  The bulletin board has become an R&R favorite.  Pictures are posted below:
