Veterans Day Webquest - Digital Activity for Google Slides

VETERANS WEBQUEST

In this engaging mini-research project, students will explore the lives and sacrifices of 7 veterans through different scavenger-hunt type prompts. For example, students will find and read about a veteran who was captured as a Prisoner of War. Throughout the exercise, students will be challenged to consider the many sacrifices veterans make for our country.

!!! 11/11/2020 Note: This webquest utilizes the Library of Congress Veterans History Project for research. Today the main search page for the Veterans History Project (which is hyperlinked in the student Slideshow) is down due to a server error. I cannot fix this since it is an issue with the Library of Congress website. For alternate access to the Veteran History Project interviews, please provide your students with the following link: https://www.loc.gov/vets/stories/ex-war-all.html

I have also added this additional back-up link to the Google Slideshow so if you would like the new Google Slides, please re-access the link that came with your purchase (in the PDF). As always, reach out if you have further questions!
