Eating Disorder Webquest
I just found a fabulous webquest that deals with nutrition and eating disorders. It fits with the constructivist apporach, in that students are active in their learning, and are able to create their own meaning. Dying to Be Thin is a Canadian webquest that includes activities such as making a graphic organizer, creating a biography booklet, and doing a presentation, and visual representation. The expectations are clearly laid out for students, and three rubrics are included. This webquest incorperates technology in a practical way, and involves a meaty challenge.

I would use this webquest in a grade 8, 9 or 10 classroom.
It would fit with the eating disorders unit in grade 8. It could also be incorperated into a phys. ed. unit.
