This WebQuest will guide you through your research to help you answer questions about your subject. Be sure to read the instructions so you know what to do when you get to each website.
 * Welcome to your John Adams WebQuest!**

**__ Portrait Scavenger Hunt __** Make sure you have a copy of the portrait scavenger hunt. Click on the blue link for the first portrait and answer as many questions as you can about your person!

** Portrait #1: ** [] Once you have answered as many questions as you can for portrait #1, click on the link for portrait #2 to see if you can make any more guesses or find more clues!

** Portrait #2: ** [] Now that you have found all of the clues from both portraits, answer the final questions in the scavenger hunt, thinking about which portrait helped you answer more questions and why.

**__ Starting your Research __** Make sure you have your graphic organizer and something to write with so you can start your research! Look over the research questions so you know what to look for. If you have another question you want to answer, you can add it to the graphic organizer at the bottom. There might be some information that does not answer your research questions. You can put this under interesting facts, or choose not to write it down at all. Now that you’re ready to answer some research questions, click on the link to your article to learn about your subject, and don’t forget to take notes! ** Article **

** After the Article ** Did you find answers to any research questions? If you did not find all of the answers, remember that you have other resources, so don’t worry! Let’s move on to your next resource. Remember, if you already found a fact in one resource, you don’t have to write it down again. Just take notes on **new** information!

** Video ** The next link will take you to a short video about your person’s life. Remember that you can watch the video as many times as you want to get the important information. You can also pause and rewind (back up) the video so you can listen again or take notes. To start the video, click on the link and hit “Play.”

If the video doesn’t play, raise your hand and wait for your teacher to come log in for you.

** Book ** Now that you have learned about your subject online, it’s time to read a book about your subject to learn more! The book will have a lot of information, so remember to only write down the **most important** facts. If you find important new facts that answer research questions, write them down in your graphic organizer!
