Introduction This part should be written with the student as the intended audience. Write a short introduction here to set the stage in an interesting way for 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 mention that. 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 students. It is also in this section that you'll communicate the Big Question (Essential Question, Guiding Question) that the whole WebQuest is centered around. Avoid giving too much detail here. Use a captivating image or even a video if you can find a relevant one (use keepvid.com to download it) Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits

The 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., Inspiration, the Web, video, podcast}, 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.) Let them know what the roles are that they will be playing. Be brief at this point. The specific role details will come in the Process section.

Don’t try to fit this all on 1 slide. Use your non-linear skills! The Process To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? Use the numbered list format to automatically number the steps in the procedure. Remember that this whole document is addressed to the student. So describe the steps using the second person and in their language. Only give the necessary details at the time the student(s) will need it. 1.First you'll be assigned to a team of 3 students... 2.To investigate [topic/question here], you’ll each chose one of the following roles. Once you've picked a role to play.... (HINT: make a slide for each of the roles and link to them so students can check them out) 3.... and so on. 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 roles, embed the links that each role will need/use within the description of that stage of the process or even on their individual role slides. Don’t put the resources that they will need/use in a separate section. 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 that cover specific skills needed for this lesson (e.g. how to brainstorm, how to prepare to interview an expert, record-keeping sheets, graphic organizers, process checklists, charts,…), link them to this section. (make sure they are in your WebQuest project folder!!) Role 1 Role 2 Role 3 Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits

Evaluation Describe to the learners (grade appropriate language and concepts here) how their performance will be evaluated. Specify whether there will be a common grade for group work vs. individual grades. You may want to use the following resources to help you generate a rubric that is specific to your webquest outcomes. If so, don’t forget to site them on your credits page. Kathy Schrock’s Rubrics page: http://school.discoveryeducation.com/schrockguide/assess.html Rubistar - http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php - TIP: You can LINK TO the rubric (word document, excel spreadsheet, etc…) if it won’t fit very well on a PPT slide. Keep the rubric that you create in the same folder as this PPT WebQuest. You can also insert a table on a slide to display the rubric… if it fits well and is readable.
