Melinda Morris WebQuest Content Assignment My own definition of a WebQuest is an online learning activity site. Students are able to go to a WebQuest and learn in many different ways. A WebQuest is called “an inquiry-oriented lesson format” because the purpose is to fill students with knowledge and they will know more than they did before they used a WebQuest. 2. Browse the Curriculum x Grade Level Matrix at [], the class diigo site ( [] ) or use Google search strategies to find 2 good WebQuest examples in your content area/grade level and 2 bad examples. Paste the link to each example and explain what makes that particular WebQuest good/bad. [] - this link leads to a good WebQuest because it is entertaining for kids. The students would go to the home page and choose what they would like to play or learn about. There are many pages on this WebQuest and I think it fulfills everything that is needed. [] - this is another link that leads to a good WebQuest, because it has a wonderful format and is easy to follow. The WebQuest is very informative and students would be able to learn a lot from the different pages on the WebQuest. [] - this link leads to a bad WebQuest because it is not set up well at all. It is kind of hard to follow and there are other ways to format a WebQuest that would make more sense. It is also very bland and students are not interested in boring things. [] - this link leads to another bad WebQuest because it is extremely boring and students would not be interested in checking out this WebQuest. They would see the home page and immediately go to another WebQuest. I almost did that exact thing but then I realized I was looking for bad WebQuests’ so I needed to look more into it. 3. Now that you’ve looked at the WebQuests in your subject area made by other people, think of a good idea for your own WebQuest. The WebQuest should be designed around an interesting, authentic problem (e.g., this Webquest on youth gangs [] ). Follow the instructions from the websites in Week 13 Content to ensure that you complete all portions of the WebQuest. Paste all text, links and images for your WebQuest in the sections below: a) Introduction: Do birds really migrate south for the winter?  Are there many different kinds of birds?   Why do some birds have wings but can’t fly?   You are going to learn about birds to find out all of the answers to these questions! When you are done, you’re going to tell someone about all of the birds!! Get excited everyone because birds are wonderful creatures!  b) Task: You will pair up into groups of two students and you will be given pictures of different birds. After reading a story about birds you will try to match a bird to the descriptions that were read and answer the questions from the introduction... Do birds really migrate south for the winter? Are there many different kinds of birds? Why do some birds have wings but can’t fly? After you have completed the questions, you will then pick your favorite bird and draw a picture of that bird. c) Process/Resources:  Step 1: Get into groups of two   Step 2: Read the story   Step 3: Match the birds as you go along   Step 4: Answer the 3 questions   Step 5: Draw a picture!  d) Evaluation (paste rubric here) ||   ||   ||    ||   ||    ||   ||    ||   ||    || e) Conclusion: Well, it looks like you have found that birds do migrate for the south, in the winter because they like to be in warm climates. You learned that there are many different kinds of birds and that some of them do not fly ( [] ) ( [] ) ( [] )  f) Teacher page (advice to other teachers on how to use this WebQuest – grade level/subject etc.) This is a Web Quest for grades K-2 and is integrating Science and Arts.
