Introduction/Anticipatory Set: Students will listen go to the website: http://edtech2.boisestate.edu/CynthiaMills/502/webquest.html. Instructor will guide students to page, read the brief summary together, proceed to the introdution page and listen to the sound recording of Ella Fitzgerald. This can be done using earbuds or together as a class as the instuctor projects the page. Then, students will read the poem: Black Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson. It is in the Introduction section of the WebQuest as well.

They will then answer the questions on the page using their Evernote app(or journal). Finally, the instructor will ask students to share their responses.
Instructional Strategies: Student-centered individual learning. Build, Apply Knowledge: Students will have to be trained on how to build a Wix website prior to the WebQuest. *Higher Order Thinking Questions: 1. Can you think of any other cultural movement that impacted America and spawned its own art, fashion, music, and literature? *Provide Guided Practice: Teacher will monitor students as they research and build their website. *Provide Independent Practice: Students will work individually during class time, and they may need to also work at home, depending on their progress. Wrap Up/Synthesis/Closure: In this WebQuest, students explored the history, literature, art, and music of the Harlem Re-

naissance. Through research, students uncovered a historical movement that not only impacted the African American culture, but also influenced the country as a whole. In addition, students researched and then created a website that depicted the era, citing their sources and creating a works cited page. This allowed students to be creative and innovative as they pulled their research and applied it in an organized and thought provoking way.
