The Web Quest is divided into four sections: The history of the death penalty; views in favour of the death penalty; views against the death penalty; and the biblical views on death penalty. Each section will guide you to research through different news articles, educational resources, blog posts, etc. You will use the webquest to collect data and understand the death penalty debating issue. As you research each side's opinion and support, you will be able to choose a side in the death penalty argument. You will create a Prezi summarizing webquest findings on the various sections, explaining both sides of the argument, and presenting evidence to support your position for or against death penalty law.
Remember, it is about how to communicate your opinion effectively. You need to be persuasive and confident. The more research and info you collect, the more confident you will be in your opinion. After reading resources, you are to summarize into 3~4 paragraphs. Then you should submit it to your teacher via email ([email protected]) as a benchmark.
