This WebQuest consists of three major components. 

1.  Choosing your WebQuest...

Below are links to WebQuest databases that you will use to search for, and evaluate, WebQuests in order to complete this exercise.  There are many choices for each grade level and content area.  You will need to search through WebQuest databases and evaluate at least three WebQuests according to the criteria included in the WebQuest Assessment Worksheet.  Remember to del.icio.us tag any WebQuests you might want to use later, including the three you evaluate.

Once you've completed your individual evaluations, together, within your teams, compare the selected and evaluated WebQuests. As a team, choose two or three of the best and share with the class why these were the "best of the best."

2.  Doing your WebQuest... 

Take a closer look at the WebQuest you will be using with your students and decide if there is anything you might add to improve the overall experience for you and your students.  This might mean creating a questionnaire or template to help guide your students through the process.  Check to see if the directions included in the Process section of the WebQuest are easy for your students to understand or if you need to add clarification.  Do you want to modify the end product to better suit your students' needs? 

Once back at school... Schedule a day to begin your students on their WebQuest.  If the WebQuest of your choice involves having students work in groups, decide beforehand how you want the groups to be formed.  If classroom supplies are needed to complete the WebQuest, have them ready in advance and then prepare for your students to embark on an extraordinary learning adventure. 

3.  Evaluating your WebQuest experience... 

There is a rubric included on the Evaluation page of this WebQuest.  It is designed to help you reflect on your own performance in the completion of this task -- once your students have completed your chosen WebQuest.
