Students will be able to:
- define and identify key features of Webquests, and
- create the title and introduction for their WebQuests.
PART ONE: WebQuest
Today, we will continue working on our WebQuest. Do you remember what a WebQuest is? Let's review and learn more about WebQuest from today's lesson.
- Identify a topic for your webquest. For example, your topic could be about planets, civil rights movement, balance diet, etc. It’s up to you! But your topic should align to the state standards. Also, identify the subject area and grade level for your webquest. This will help you set up the title and the introduction of your WebQuest:
- Title: You need to have a title section for WebQuest. The title can be short in length, but should be indicative of the nature of the activity. Include Author & Activity Info: Your name, position, school, school location, grade level, & subject area.
- Introduction: Sets the scene or "real world experience" in 2 to 3 paragraphs.
- Need inspiration? Check Wonderopolis.
- Identify the goal of your Webquest. What is that you want your students to do or accomplish after completing the webquest? Should they be able to create a book about the different insects? Or should they be able to create a presentation about how math is used in many careers? Again, it's up to you to decide what engaging task you will plan for your students!
