Save time and eliminate extra work with this no-prep, printable webquest featuring worksheets to engage your middle school, junior high, or high school U.S. history students in exploring the remarkable life of George Washington Carver, extraordinary scientist, inventor, and teacher. This 10-page printable webquest includes 50 questions to help students discover more about George Washington Carver. Depending on your class time and your individual students, you might... assign students to find all the answers, or divide the questions and let students teach each other as they discover the answers. You could also... direct students to the Carver quotations at the end of the resource and ask them to use critical thinking to determine how they would fill in the missing words; then compare and contrast what they composed to the completed quotation. ask students to choose one of the quotations and then explain orally or in written form why they agree or disagree with it. If you need an activity for early finishers or for extra credit, ask students to create a biographical timeline, , sketch, or multimedia presentation that features . . . all important parts of Carver’s life, or ten (or another number) events in Carver’s life they think are most important. When students have completed the webquest, ask them to reflect on what they learned and... identify an event in Carver’s life they would like to know more about and explain why it interests them, or explain how local, national, or international events in Carver’s lifetime may have influenced him or his work; alternately, choose a specific event from Carver’s life and discuss how it might have shaped him, or consider what they learned about Carver’s beliefs, values, or philosophy; then compare and contrast these with their beliefs, values, or philosophy, or write a letter or email to Carver asking questions about his life or work. In the included answer key is additional information for answers to many questions. If you choose, use this additional information to form questions for extra credit.
