Webquest Possibility

The webquest project that I will have to create for my online class has been weighing heavy on my mind. There are so many possibilities and so many aspects to consider that I have had trouble selecting a topic, until now. I am considering a quest that would have students working in small groups (maybe 3-4) to produce a television travel show episode. The learning goals of the quest would be: names and geography of countries, writing for a professional purpose, and speaking to an audience. There would be one reporter and 2 or 3 travel guests to interview in each group. The group would choose one continent from which each guest would pick one country. The students would research their countries and write a script in collaboration with the interviewer. Each group would then broadcast their travel show to the class. The groups would all create a map of their continent with political boundaries as a prop for the TV show, and would create handouts for the rest of their classmates to fill in. I think it has possibilities. Any suggestions?
