Arthurian Legends WebQuest!

Throughout the world, tales have always been told of heroes and heroines embarking on perilous quests in search of lost loved ones, the secret of immortality, earthly paradise, in search of self, or simply great riches. Many of these stories have elements in common, such as clashes with monsters, battles with the elements, interventions by the gods and tests of moral character, mental cunning and physical strength. These tales have been expressed in songs, literature, art and dance for thousands of years, and are still being reinterpreted today in books, comic strips, interactive games and adventure films.

Stories depicting quests reflect the fascination over four thousand years with the search for self, true love, everlasting glory and spiritual enlightenment.

Today, you are challenged to a quest! 

In your past, you may have learned about the King Arthur stories, often called the Arthurian Legends which depict the mythical quest. In this Webquest you will explore the ways in which the Arthurian Legends, which were created hundreds of years ago, remain alive in the modern world. You will use the power of teamwork and the abundant resources on the Internet to learn all about Arthurian Legends. Each person on your team will learn one piece of the puzzle and then you will come together to get a better understanding of how the Arthurian Legends  relate to the modern world and can enlighten us on our quest to understand life and ourselves.
