Fahrenheit 451 Webquest

I chose a webquest on Fahrenheit 451, which I have decided to read with my students this summer. This webquest is intended for 9th grade English and History classes - two classes I am trying to combine these next monts. Students must "collect information regarding book burning through history," eventually writing a persuasive essay either for or against the process of book burning. There is a research graphic organizer they must use before writing and the webquest gives them some links to information they will need to complete this project. Since I am working on regents based work this summer in preparation for the August 14th exam, I think a persuasive essay and this webquest are perfect for my students.
