This webquest is an introduction to a little-known, but awesome resource. Merriam-Webster’s visual dictionary lets learners experience new words in rich context (images, diagrams, pronunciation recordings). It’s good for pretty much any level, and the stages can be extended or compressed depending on how proficient your group is.

This works best if learners get access to an IWB in a later stage of the lesson (when they’re presenting their images to other pairs). Make sure your browser can handle the pronunciation: there are some issues with Firefox (see Teacher’s notes).
