This great lesson plan collection includes 11 internet based activities/webquests covering major wars that America has been involved in from the Revolutionary War to the Persian Gulf War.

My students enjoy these webquests and have become very engaged in them. My students ask more questions and using the internet is always more exciting than reading from a textbook. Each webquest can take at least one class period to complete. Each of the webquests covers a war in great detail. A teacher answer key is included for 10 of the 11 webquests. (WWII Webquest Answer Key is not needed)

I sell these webquests individually and all have received very positive reviews. Save yourself time and money and order this whole collection together. By ordering this lesson plan collection you will have activities for between 11 to 20 school days depending on the grade you teach.

The following 11 webquests are included:
