Introduction
This document
should be written with the student
as the intended audience. Write a
short paragraph here to introduce the activity or lesson to the students. If there is a role or
scenario involved (e.g., "You
are a detective trying to identify the
mysterious poet.") then here is where you'll set the stage. If there's no motivational intro like
that, use this section to provide
a short advance organizer or overview. Remember that the purpose of this section is to both prepare and hook
the reader.
It is also in
this section that you'll
communicate the Big Question (Essential
Question, Guiding Question) that the whole WebQuest is centered around.
Task
Describe crisply
and clearly what the end result of
the learners' activities will be. 
The task could be a:
¥ problem or mystery to be solved;
¥ position to be formulated and defended;
¥ product to be designed;
¥ complexity to be analyzed;
¥ personal insight to be articulated;
¥ summary to be created;
¥ persuasive message or journalistic account to be crafted;
¥ a creative work, or
¥ anything that requires the learners to process and transform the
information they've gathered.
If the final
product involves using some tool
(e.g., PowerPoint, Word, AppleWorks or the Web, mention it here.
Don't list the
steps that students will go
through to get to the end point. That
belongs in the Process section.
Process
To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? Use
the numbered list format in your
web editor to automatically number the steps in the procedure. Describing
this section well will help other
teachers to see how your lesson
flows and how they might adapt it for their own use, so the more detail and care you put into this,
the better. Remember that this
whole document is addressed to the student, however, so Describe the steps using the second person.
1 First
you'll be assigned to a team of 3
students...
2 Once
you've picked a role to play....
3 ... and
so on.
The on-line
resources can be listed here or can be listed as a separate topic.
Learners will access the on-line resources that you've identified as they go through the Process. You may have a set
of links that everyone looks at as a way of developing background information, or not. If you break
learners into groups.
In the Process
block, you might also provide some guidance on how to organize the information gathered. This
advice could suggestions to use
flowcharts, summary tables, concept maps,
or other organizing structures. The advice could also take the form of a checklist of questions to
analyze the information with, or
things to notice or think about. If you
have identified or prepared guide documents on the Web that cover specific skills needed for this
lesson (e.g. how to brainstorm,
how to prepare to interview an expert), link them to this section.
Internet Links
List your links to the
internet unless you listed them in the Process section of this WebQuest.
Evaluation
Describe to
the learners how their performance
will be evaluated. If you are using a rubric, make sure the students see the
points on the rubric before the WebQuest begins. Specify whether there will be a common grade
for group work vs. individual grades. Be sure to included stated state and/or
national Objectives or Performances.
Conclusion
Put a couple
of sentences here that summarize
what they will have accomplished or learned by completing this activity or lesson. You might also include some
rhetorical questions or additional
links to encourage them to extend their thinking into other content beyond this lesson.
