INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the WebQuest Adopt-A-Penguin. We are in need of your help. One of our penguins needs a home filled with lots of love. Your principal has shared with us that your school has just the right place. They are building a three-sided glass room directly across from your classroom! If you are 5 to 8 years old, love birds, and have lots of love to share, please contact us immediately at 1-555-PENGUIN. Your mission, should you decide to help, is to research various penguins and draw a picture of your penguin in it’s new glass house. Looking forward to hearing from you, Penguin Pete’s Adopt-A-Pet.
