WoodQuest

The Founder of WoodQuest - Mrs. Woodard!

Yesterday in class Mrs. Woodard stopped by and explained WoodQuest to my class. She is integrating this inquiry based learning project into Social Studies but as it is cross-curricular, students will be working on it in my classroom at times, too. Some information was sent home yesterday but here is a little more.
The Goal of WoodQuest is to earn "Woodbucks" through a variety of activities. Students will be grouped in "communities" (Jeffersonville, Washingtown, Franklinburg and Jackson City) and are expected to work with their team as well as individually. There are lots of individual activities available on the Choice Board and students are encouraged to choose activities to fit their individual interest and learning styles. The choices include projects like creating timelines, slideshows, posters and reports. Most, if not all of WoodQuest will take place in the classroom but students are certainly not discouraged from working on projects at home for extra "Woodbucks".
