Resources (continuation of Process) v You
will begin this Web Quest by accessing a page online that provides
information on what a Web Quest is and how to structure one. Here is the title
of the page and the URL to access it. “Developing
a Web Quest for Your Classroom”: http://olc.spsd.sk.ca/DE/webquests/wq/writing.html v After
reading through the information in “Developing
a Web Quest for Your Classroom,” you are ready to move on to the
next activity, which is the activity listed below, “A Web Quest About Web Quests.”
You will work with your group, and each person will select one role to play,
and you must stay within your role as you analyze the given Web Quests. You
will have a form to complete as you analyze the Web Quests. That form is
identified below as a Worksheet. After completing the Worksheet, you will
reconvene with your group for a discussion. We have only an hour to complete
this activity, and I will have a timer going to keep us on task. Work
efficiently! “A Web Quest About Web Quests”: In this activity, you
will determine the best two web quests and the worst two. Select the activity by your grade level
