Reconstruction Timeline Webquest

Reconstruction Timeline Webquest

The webquest contains 30 questions and an answer key is included for the teacher. A QR code is included along with the traditional website link. I recommend using this activity as an introduction activity or as an opportunity for students to further explore the history of Reconstruction. The webquest will take most students at least 20 to 40 minutes to complete depending on age. Feel free to modify this activity if needed to fit the needs of your students.
