We are about to read a new chapter book, Charlotte's Web by E. L. White. In this book most of the characters are farm animals. The two central characters are a pig and a spider. Is a spider a farm animal? The purpose of this webquest is to make you familiar farms, farm animals and farm life. Once you have completed this webquest you will be ready to complete your group project. Before you go any further it might be a good idea to review the Rubric for your final group project.
Before we begin our literary adventure with Charlotte’s Web, we had better learn and see what farm life is all about.
