2. Taak

This WebQuest will take two lessons to complete and one to evaluate:

The first two tasks will be done in the first lesson. Since you are groups of two you can divide the first two tasks amongst yourselves. The third task has to be done by the two of you. Of course you are more than welcome to help each other out in the process of finalizing these tasks. You need to finish the first two tasks before the start of the second lesson because the final task will be done during the second lesson. Please look at Process (werkwijze) for additional and helpful information to get started.

Task 1:

Produce a profile about Mark Twain. You may use a Hyves or Facebook template for making this profile. Make sure that the information you put in there is accurate.

Task 2:

After you read the book you decided to go to the play of 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'. You are to write an attractive review linking the novel/play with the use of satire and irony. Look up these literary devices if you can't remember what they are. Give examples from the book/play and incorporate them in your review.

Task 3:

The Missouri Gazette has asked you and your partner to write two articles. One about linking slavery to the novel you read and one about the frontier around the time in which the novel is set> describe what 'Ingean Territory' is (chapter 39). The other article should deal with slavery/racism in this book. Provide some examples from the book how people looked at slavery and how slaves were treated during the time when the novel was set.
