DISSECT THE BASIC WEBQUEST

The basic WebQuest contains six parts:

  1. Introduction: Explains what the WebQuest is about and arouses student interest.
  2. Task: Describes the final product.
  3. Process: Lists the steps students will take to accomplish the task. Often includes roles students must assume as they complete the steps.
  4. Resources: Lists specific Web pages that will help the group complete their project. May include offline resources as well.
  5. Evaluation: Explains how the process and final product will be evaluated and graded. Discusses the roles students might play in peer or self-evaluation. Often includes rubrics.
  6. Conclusion:Provides an opportunity for students to review and apply what they learned.
In addition, many WebQuests are interdisciplinary. Most require students to work in teams, with each member assuming a different role.
