Dinner at the White House - September 1, 2006
Today's QuestGarden featured webquest is a quirky, fun exploration of international culture for late-middle school and high-school students. TITLE: Dinner at the White House AUTHOR: Multiple (University of Phoenix) LINK: Link to Dinner at the White House Webquest This webquest requires students assume a unique role: You have been recently hired to be part of the new team of Ceremonial Officers at the White House. Ceremonial Officers are a unit of the State Department that is in charge of preparing the President and staff for official visits from foreign leaders. As part of your duties, you have been told that the President will be entertaining a delegation from the U.S. Virgin Islands . It is your responsibility to create a menu for the event containing food typical of that territory. What a great concept! The authors selected several great websites where students learn about the history, culture and culinary uniqueness of USVI ... and also lead students to several sources on various protocols for state affairs. You can also check out more websites on Government and Civics here! |
