by Cathy Bailey, Carlton Avenue School

The year is 1985 and E.B. White is coming to Carlton Avenue School to be part of a talk show titled "Carlton Connection". As members of the production staff, you will use the Internet to help you prepare five detailed interview questions. You will also have the chance to perform your version of "Carlton Connection" in front of the class.

Introduction

During this WebQuest, you'll be using the Internet to become experts on one of our favorite authors, E.B. White.  As you know, he's written some of the most popular children's books, including Charlotte's Web and The Trumpet of the Swan.

After researching his life, you and a partner will use your notes to develop five questions and answers about the man and his books.  You'll use a talk show "interview" to share your new information with the class.
