The following unit of work is a Webquest called Unearthing History: Ancient Civilizations created for 15-year-old EFL students. It was designed following the Webquest format proposed by Abdallah (2021) and Yavelberg (2015). Afterwards, in order to detail the specific instructions for every lesson, a "Warmer, Web, What's next" model was followed, as suggested by Dudeney & Hockly (2007).
