Introduction

 

As a class, we have been learning about various landforms found around the world.  In this webquest, you will show your knowledge of the landforms we have discussed so far and become an expert on a self-selected landform of your choice.

 

 

Task

 

Mrs. Pfingsten has decided to let her students show her what they know about landforms.  She feels that they have shared a lot of knowledge with her, but still might need to have a basic review of landform facts.  It is your job to review the information she has provided for you, become an expert on a self-selected landform, and create a Mysterious Landform Power Point Presentation presenting the information you have learned.
