What is WebQuest?
http://www.teachnology.com/teachers/lesson_plans/computing/webquest1/AlcoholandPerformance.html
Pay attention to the website, answer these questions?What is WebQuset?What are the main parts of the WebQuest?
What is a Web Quest?:
“An inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet.”
Bernie Dodge, San Diego University
Why Use Web Quests?:
Engage Students Research is More Organized Accommodate multiple learning levels A great alternative to the standard
“research paper” project Ensures that students are using reliable
websites to find their information
How Do I Make a Web Quest?:
1- Choose Your Theme 2- Decide on a Format PowerPoint-Based Website-Based Paper based.3- Compile Necessary Resources 4- Find Appropriate Graphics
Two types of Web Quests
Short term Designed to be completed in one to three
class periods
Longer term Designed to take between one week and
one month
Things to keep in mind Picking a Starting Point
Should be based on a curriculum standard
Should make good use of the Web
Should require a level of understanding, not just rote learning
Elements of a Web Quest:
Introduction Task General objectives of the project Process
Individual Tasks Necessary Resources Conclusion What should they have learned from the
project? Evaluation Rubric/Grading Criteria
Introduction A concise paragraph or two that supplies
students with background information and motivation for completing the project.
Includes a question that students will ponder.
Task Provides a clear outline of what students
will accomplish or need to do . The task is considered the single most
important part of a WebQuest. Task categories- retelling, compilation, mystery,
journalistic, design, creative product, consensus building, persuasion, self-knowledge, analytical, judgement, scientific
Evaluation A rubric that evaluates the work of each
student team and should relate specifically to the central task.
Zookeeper WebQuest
A WebQuest
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
You have just been hired as a zookeeper by the Atlanta Zoo. Last night animals escaped from their cages. Nobody remembers what animals we in the cages. All that is left in the cages are the habitats!
Introduction
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
There are 3 empty cages in the Atlanta Zoo. You need to read the descriptions of the habitats in each cage and recommend 3 animals that could survive in each cage. You need to make sure that you include at least 1 animal from each group among the 3 cages. You can’t add anything except food to the cage.
Task
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Habitat 1 There are bars around the cage so the
animals can’t get out. Inside the cage are many trees with an open space in the middle. On the side of the cage is a rocky area.
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Habitat 2
This cage has a lot of water. On the right of the cage is a blue-green body of water. On the left side is a body of water covered with green stuff. There are some muddy areas which lead to grass.
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Habitat 3 There are solid walls as well as a top so
the animals can’t escape. It is very warm inside the cage. There is a small stream down rocks in the back of the cage. There are a few trees along the sides of the cage.
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Research Recorder Illustrator
Find information about the 5 groups of animals. Find information about the animals you recommend to put in the cages.
Record information about the 5 animal groups. Record information found about the animals you recommend to pun in cages.
Draw a picture of each animal you will include in your habitat. Make sure to label the animal and habitat the animal will live in.
Process You will work
together in groups of 3 to find animals. Each person will have a different job. You will all present your recommendations to the zoo staff. Make sure you can explain WHY each animal should go in the recommended cage.
Step 1:
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Step 2 Use the “Habitat Recording Sheet” and visit the
following websites that have information about animal groups and animals. Make notes about what the animals need to survive and what kind of habitat the animal would need.

Zoo Animals: http://www.zooatlanta.org/animals_landing.htm
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Step 3
Once you have completed research on animals and animal groups, decide which animals you will put in each cage. Draw a picture of the animals in each cage. Make sure you label habitat and the animals in the habitat.
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion
Step 4
Present you recommendations of animals to the zoo staff. Make sure you can explain why you are recommending the animals for each habitat.
Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion

Conclusion
Now that you have learned about animals and animal groups you have been promoted to Head Zoo Keeper! Great Work!

So…Where Do You Start?
The first question you need to ask yourself is…
Should I make a WebQuest or use one I found on the Internet?
“Don’t Reinvent the Wheel”You can find a lot of already made WebQuests online with a little search.
Adapt an Existing WebQuestSometimes you can find a WebQuest that needs only minor adaptations. Use the following website for ideas on how to modify it to best meet your needs.
Create Your Own WebQuest
Use a free online resource:
◦ Filamentality This website allows you many options in
creating your WebQuest online.
◦ teAchnology This website allows you to fill in the blanks
and creates a WebQuest for you. Make sure to Save File onto your computer
after creating it.
Create a WebQuest in Word
