Escape From Ecuador A Kidnapped Webquest IntroductionIntroduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusion

Introduction You are an innocent citizen visiting Peru in the Ecuador/Peru war. You are taking a walk minding your own business when two Ecuadorian soldiers spot you and kidnap you! They manage to get you to Ecuador and thinking you are an important civilian in Peru and that they would pay anything to get you back. Unfortunately you know that isn’t going to happen. Somehow you manage to escape and are now all on your own in Ecuador. You must learn the culture and, since you are only a stranger, you must learn enough Spanish to navigate out of Ecuador. Keep in mind that ever since you got away the Ecuadorian soldiers have been after you. As you go through your journey you know that when you get back to the U.S. (if you ever get back) you will be interviewed for a newspaper. Keep notes of your journey so you can write an interesting article at the end. IntroductionIntroduction Task Process Evaluation ConclusionTaskProcessEvaluationConclusion
