Our First WebQuest

Good Morning Upper-Intermediates!

WebQuests are experiences you learn from while being online with others and working with what you find out.  We are going to try one out for the next few lessons.


  1. Monday:You will use some websites a couple of teachers and I have selected to answer some specific information questions on a little quiz.  The information is all online so don't worry about not knowing the answers now.
  2. (Still) Monday: You will devise (create) a survey to ask the other students.  I will be assessing these, but my criteria (ideas for what is good work and bad work) are at the bottom of the WebQuest so you will know your grades before you hand them to me at the end of the day.  RECORD YOUR DATA.
  3. Tuesday: Record your data, and use it to make a short report of your findings.  I will be assessing these on Tuesday night so you can either write them tonight for homework or do them in class tomorrow.  Again see my criteria in the rubric (chart) at the bottom of the WebQuest.
  4. Wednesday:  Wednesday will be a presentation day so bring your stuff.  You will show what you learned with your partner and what your ideas are.  At the end we will do a self-evaluation.  Again this will all be assessed according to the rubric.  


It's a big project but it's a very important topic.

Good luck.
