The Door in the Wall and Middle Ages WebQuest is a social studies and
language arts research activity for middle schoolers who have read the Newbery novel by
Marguerite Lofft deAngeli.
The WebQuest consists of activities, vocabulary work, research links, and role-playing. Students
have the opportunity to work both independently and collaboratively. Although the WebQuest
currently lacks a rubric, a self-evaluation activity is included. Extension activities and
notes to the teacher round out the WebQuest.
Rating: An engaging and fun WebQuest on the novel and the Middle Ages.
