About this page: The
webquest I have created is based on a unit of study for my sixth grade
science classes. I use Prentice Hall
text books, which have really good information, but for the unit “Exploring
the Universe”, I thought it would be much more interesting for the students
to choose the topic they are interested in
learning more about. Students
will also get their creative juices flowing by working on a graphic piece for
their Exhibit. Students will have to
use their cooperative group skills to come up with ideas for their exhibit. They will need to show off their art work
and research in a way that is interesting and fun to visit. Evaluation of student work: · I created the
evaluation rubric, but as I get to know my students better I hope to have
them make their own evaluation chart for the next WebQuest we do
together. It is important for the
student to invest in his/her own work and be responsible for the outcome of
the assignment or project. Thoughts: · I think that
the webquest will give your students a chance to use the internet in a way
that is more controlled but less confusing to search. It will hope to show them that there is
more to computer projects, there is a purpose to their searches and that even
within a project there is room for individual choice and creativity. Most importantly the students should have
fun with the project while gaining an understanding of the subject matter. Ideas: · Invite other
classes (perhaps 3rd or 4th grade) to visit the class Exhibit. This will give the students a chance to
show off their work and explain the information they have researched. The NYS Standards : Standard # 2 Information
Systems - Indicators 1.1 and 1.3 Standard # 4 Physical
Setting – Indicators 1.1 a, b, c, d, and j. |
