One bite from the fangs of a cobra and you can kiss your Aunt Bertha good- bye. One bite from the teeth of a mongoose and the cobra can kiss his Aunt
Bertha goodbye!

Welcome to "Kip-Quest", the only webquest entirely dedicated to Rudyard Kipling's fiesty mongoose hero, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. This quest challenges you to take on one of three roles and view the given task from your role's perspective. You may take on the role of a reporter, a zoologist, or a historian. You will become an expert on your given topic, finding out things like

                    * What was Nagaina's plan to avenge her husband's death?
                    * How did Rikki-Tikki-Tavi beat Nagaina at her own game?
                    * Who occupied India during the time about which Rudyard Kipling wrote?
                    * When did the British take over India, and when did they pull out?
                    * Where do cobras and mongooses live naturally?
                    * How do mongooses survive battles with cobras?
                    * Is a mongoose immune to the venom of a cobra?
                    * How long do you have to live after being bit by a cobra?

Then you will generate an oral report about your topic backed up by a powerpoint presentation that you can share with the class.
