5.  Make notes about how you will enhance the WebQuests:  additional print materials, videos, guest speakers, field trips, etc.  

6.  Make lists of content areas and subject matter you would like to enhance with WebQuests and continue to search for those throughout the year. 

7.  Locate on-line databases and reference materials that correlate with your curriculum.  You will need those to develop your own WebQuests.
