In order to make sure that your WebQuest stays aligned with your unit, you will need to copy and paste 3 things from your Stages 1 and 2 from Dr. Grace's wiki onto this page. (This will also help Dr. Theresa give you better feedback on your Intro, Task, and Conclusion.)

=G.R.A.S.P.S= //( Feel free to copy and paste what you have on your wiki page for Dr. Grace for the GRASPS portion. Note that you don't need the Standards part, though you can include it if you want.)// =Understanding(s)= //(Copy and paste the big understanding(s) you have listed in your unit for Dr. Grace. What are the academic goals for the unit (which will also be the purpose of the WebQuest).)//
 * Goal || For students to develop a presentation that demonstrates their knowledge of the way the plot in // Tender is the Night // is developed. ||
 * Role || A student competing for the chance to assist a screenwriter with his sequel to // Tender is the Night // . ||
 * Audience || Fox Searchlight Pictures and the film's screenwriter. ||
 * Setting || The students are being asked to demonstrate their knowledge of the novel's plot, characters, and historical setting. ||
 * Presentation || A Prezi incorporating an original creative story, visual art, and audi/video elements. ||

=Introduction= //F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night is a lush, complex novel filled with vivid characters who experience many ups and downs during its 315 pages. Even though the characters receive some closure at the end of the novel, there is a lot left unsaid about what could happen to them afterward, which is where you come in. Take this opportunity to use the knowledge you have gained by studying Tender is the Night to create a new story for the characters. Do they get back together and live happily ever after, or never see each other again? Could they travel the world, invent the spaceship, or go back in time? This is your chance to show what you have learned about the novel throughout this unit, so use the elements of plot, theme, and cultural setting that we have learned about to craft a story about what happens to the characters after we last saw them. You're in control, so be creative, be accurate, and most importantly, have fun!//

=Task= Your class has been given the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of F. Scott Fitzgerald and 1920s American culture following the conclusion of your unit on //Tender is the Night.// Fox Searchlight is looking to film a sequel of the novel and they are giving your students the opportunity to contribute to the project. Working in pairs, students will create a Prezi digital presentation describing what they believe happens to the novel's main characters after its conclusion. Their work of fiction should express considerable knowledge of the historical context and the themes and message of the novel, and the presentation must include creative writing, visual, and audio/video elements. The project that is judged the best by the Fox Searchlight panel will win, and the students will have the opportunity to assist the film's screenwriter.

=Conclusion= Congratulations! You have finished crafting your plot that explains what you think could <range type="comment" id="416952884_9">happen</range id="416952884_9"> to the characters in //Tender is the Night// after the novel's conclusion. Hopefully along the way you have grown into your understanding of plot, theme, and setting as you created a new life for these characters beyond the pages of a book. Good luck with the Fox Searchlight panel, and be sure to <range type="comment" id="416952884_10">use what you learned to extend your thinking about the next novel you read.</range id="416952884_10">

//(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)//
