Webquests
Four Unique Webquests
A JPEF Webquest is an educational program in which students are guided through a series of webpages to learn about a particular subject. They get to make choices as they go about what subtopics they prefer to explore.
All Foundations lessons feature a unique webquest that guides students through an exploration of their subject. Webquests use interactive images, illustrations and other multimedia, combined with educational advance organizers that absorb students in the study of empathy, antisemitism, leadership, and resistance.
