Setting up this Webquest
Hello teachers! You will have a classroom full of riders! To help them organize their notes, you can give them a copy of the worksheet, linked below. To introduce this webquest, briefly explain what the Pony Express did: that it was a way to deliver mail. Review that nowadays we communicate by telephone and email. Then, engage their interest by saying that this was the only way people could communicate from one state to the next. Send them on their webquest (They can either do this individually or in partners).
After that is completed, students will present their findings, concluding with their opinion in whether or not they would want to be a rider or not.
Have fun!
