Your task is to create a literature assignment for your
students, the assignment is to go on a Webquest, which will help them learn
how to use the internet to gather information on a particular idea or topic.
A Webquest is a journey through multiple websites to gather information
and complete a specific task. As intended by the name, it is done on the
internet.
Examples of Literature Webquests:

Webquest
Sarah
Plain and Tall #1
Sarah Plain
and Tall #2
Your webquest will include:
1. An introduction stating the purpose of this webquest, and who the webquest
is made for(the population that you'll be using this with)
2. The task that the students are trying to accomplish by completing the
webquest.
3. The process the students will need to go through to accomplish the webquest.
This may include questions the student may need to ask him/herself to complete
the task and multiple websites that are linked to your webquest that will
help your students accomplish the task.
4. An evaluation rubric (with three levels) so the students know what they
need to do to get an unsatisfactory, target, or accomplished score on their
journey and the task they complete.
5. A conclusion summarizing what the students need to go through and what
they will be accomplishing while doing that.
6. Extra credit points will be given for an additional resources portion
added to the webquest for students to use if they so choose.
Your webquest should be colorful and eye-appealing for
students and have at least 3 different links that your students can go to
for the information they need to complete their task. Use the examples given
in class to model what you can do!!!
