TASK

1. You make a team of two persons. Therefore the first thing you will do is to select someone who will cooperate with you.

2. The next step is to examine the 21 candidates. You can use the "resources" part of this webquest to search for more background information concerning each nominated world wonder. You have to make an simple overview of the 21 constructions.

3. After that, you need to discuss with your teammate how to establish a list of 7 new world wonders according to the standards of you and your teammate. 

 4. When you have made your own list of favorites, you must hold a class presentation. This presentation makes it clear why you have selected those particular seven constructions.

Making the overview and the presentation is not really the most difficult part of this task. You will see that it isn't easy to eliminate 14 constructions, because everyone has his own taste and opinion. So here are some suggestions you can use them to select the constructions, but maybe you can add others:

  • It simply the most beautiful to see.
  • It is build a long time ago. Today's architects have complete modern equipments to make such difficult things. The ancients did not have such modern tools.
  • There is something mysterious about it. How did the ancients build this and why?
  • It has to be very large;
  • It must be modern, because the old constructions no longer interests us?
  • It has to do something with religion, because the gods played a important role in our life.
  • And so on . . .

So enough stuff to discuss about.
