This site provides an annotated reference for WebQuests created by students in IMET Three. From this page, you can link to WebQuests created by the following students:
Yvonne Bowman This WebQuest is aimed at Kindergarten-age students to help them learn and identify different colors. There are six tasks that students explore, including a "color exploration page" containing positive exemplars of each color (a la "concept attainment"). There is an additional teacher's page that contains instructions for implementing this activity, a suggested conclusion/assessment, and an extensive list of resource books and websites.
Kay Carlile, Chris Clark, Ashleigh Hoslett and Chris Watson This WebQuest was designed for students who are studying the Declaration of Independence in their history class. In groups of 4 to 6, students research and examine the characteristics of the authors and signers of the Declaration of Independence that may have caused them to be politically active. The groups then do a similar examination of contemporary political activists. Finally, in either a poster, website or slide presentation, groups present their findings and discuss what types of issues or principles would cause them to personally become politically active. There is a scoring rubric available on the site for assessment.
Emily Dunnagan This WebQuest was designed for and used in an eighth grade science class. Students assume the role of newspaper reporters who have been given an assignment to write an article on what an endangered specie is and the issues surrounding protecting such species. Students will compare and contrast endangered species and threatened species, determine what causes a species to become endangered, and write an article synthesizing their research. A scoring rubric for evaluation is included on the site. |
