WebQuest

• What is it?
• According to Bernie Dodge, "A WebQuest is an
  inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of
  the information used by learners is drawn from
  the Web.
• WebQuests are designed to use learners' time
  well, to focus on using information rather than
  looking for it, and to support learners' thinking
  at the levels of analysis, synthesis and
  evaluation."

WebQuestIntroduction

• The purpose of this section is to both prepare
  and hook the reader. The student is 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, then here is where
  you'll set the stage.

16
WebQuestTask

• The task focuses learners on what they are going
  to do
• Describe crisply and clearly what the end result
  of the learners' activities will be. Don't list
  the steps that students will go through to get to
  the end point. That belongs in the Process
  section

17
WebQuestProcess

• This section outlines how the learners will
  accomplish the task.
• To accomplish the task, what steps should the
  learners go through?...Learners will access the
  on-line resources that you've identified as they
  go through the Process....You might also provide
  some guidance on how to organize the information
  gathered.

18
WebQuestEvaluation

• This section describes the evaluation criteria
  needed to meet performance and content standards.
• Describe to the learners how their performance
  will be evaluated. The assessment rubrics should
  align with the culminating project or
  performance, as outlined in the task section of
  the WebQuest. Specify whether there will be a
  common grade for group work vs. individual
  grades.

19
WebQuest Conclusion

• The conclusion brings closure and encourages
  reflection.
• Here you summarize what the learners 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.
