This is a completely type of activity that I have found on Michelle Henry's website. It is a webquest based on A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.
The activity is meant to be done in four groups of students, but I think that if you are working on your own, you can do it all the same, although it will take you longer and you won't be able to do the collaborative final stage, where all the information is shared among the people who took part in the webquest.
