The process to complete this webquest is as follows:

First, you must read chapter 1 of Sarah, Plain and Tall and choose a character you would like to become. Remember it could be Jacob (Papa), Sarah, Anna or Caleb.

  1. Read the Sarah Plain and Tall webquest to become familiar with the Chapter group assignments. Each chapter group is indexed at the beginning of each page.
  2. While reading each chapter group you will need to:
  • Add words to your vocabulary list section. Each chapter page in this web quest will have vocabulary words for you to include in your vocabulary list. First read the vocabulary list from the webquest page. Next, read the chapter to look for the word. Then think of what you believe is the meaning of the word and click on the link to the on-line source, check the definition. You will enter the word once you get to the on-line source.
  1. Following the reading of each chapter you will need to:
  • Write a reaction paragraph of each chapter group. In this section you need to think about how the character you are assuming would be feeling about these events. Sometimes the book will tell you and sometimes you will have to infer the character's feelings.
  • Write a summary of each chapter group. You will need to write a summary for each chapter group. The summary needs to be five sentences long and written in cursive. At the time of this story students in school would have learned to write in cursive at an early age. Since we are going to create these journals in an authentic manner, cursive is a must.
  • Write prediction of the coming chapter. Following the reading of each chapter group you will write a one sentence prediction of what you think will happen next.
Complete any other assigned activities for the chapter.
