Conclusion Now I want you to think about what you
learned from this WebQuest. Did you feel the angst of the student trying
to understand the schedule? Or the excitement of trying new things?
Did you feel the frustration from the parent and the roadblocks that stood in front of them?
Hopefully you learned another point of view and can understand the uncertainty of immigration. You were trying to start a life in a place you didn’t understand the language or know how to relate. I hope you can take this WebQuest and know you could “Grow up in a Foreign Country.” QuickTime™ and a
