BernieD agrees

JaniceF says, "There is so much to this quest. I could learn a lot
about plays from it."

PhilipAB says, "It appears very linear, and you're right, aside from the
initial reading segment, doesn't really need computers at
all."

KarenRL asks, "This webquest seems to involve the whole class. Am I
correct?"

BernieD says, "Probably. It takes a village to stage a play."

KarenRL says, "So true."

PhilipAB says, "It seems to be a clever way of presenting a performance
unit for a high school English class, perhaps overcoming
kids' natural resistance to fairy tales by wrapping them
up in the itnernet."

BernieD says, "So this one might be good to recommend to those with
limited computer access. It's more fun to grab these
things off the web, but not critical if you've got a Xerox
budget."

BernieD agrees with Philip

BernieD says, "Let's look at the next Play."

BernieD projects the URL:

BernieD asks, "How does this compare to the first one?"

PhilipAB says, "Much heavier in the text department. Lot's of fiddly
reading, IMHO."

PhilipAB says, "However, the resources make the internet an integral
part of the kids research."

KarenRL says, "I agree with Philip. Lots of text."

JaniceF says, "I am much more attracted to the first one, but it may
just be because of grade level"

JenW says, "smile - I like the first one better"

BernieD says, "Both are for high school, though."

BernieD says, "The first one is friendlier like a middle school quest."

JenW says, "really??? The second one seems so much older. I could see
using the first one in elementary easily"

JaniceF says, "I think the first one could easily be done by younger
than HS kids"

BernieD exclaims, "The second is a bit more academic. Not that there's
anything wrong with that!"
