Should Wolves Resettle in Vermont?

This site is a WebQuest for Educators in Vermont to Learn about WebQuests or to use with their students to determine the future of wolves in Vermont. It is an authentic assignment about a current issue that Vermonters must address. Wolves are currently in Quebec and there have been some sightings already reported in Vermont. Should they be allowed to remain? Should their numbers be controlled? What will their impact be on farmers? hunters? children? What are the facts about wolves and what are the fables?

Webquests are a technique to look at different perspectives on an issue, research information, discuss points of view and develop a consensus. Although this is identified as a "science" topic, look at the Teacher's page to see how mathematics, art, music, writing, history, geography are all integrated into this decision-making process.
