WebQuest
Learning Objectives
- Describe the structure and function of local government in Washington
- Identify the level of local government that can address an issue
- Explain the basics of public meetings
- Use the internet to locate information about the layers of local government where they live
Overview
This web activity goes with the Governing Communities lesson in our Washington State resources. The activity for this lesson is web-based so students can get the most relevant, real-life information about their local governments.
Each slide includes a link and a set of questions. Use the templates in the Governing Communities lesson materials to give students a place to note their answers. (They can write them in the answer space on each slide, too, but there isn’t an easy way for you to download/compile those answers in My iCivics.)
- Whole-class option: Project the web activity in your classroom and work through the slides together as a class.
- Individual option: Allow students to work through the slides individually or in pairs.
