Task
|
The task focuses learners on what they are going to do - specifically, the culminating performance or product that drives all of the learning activities. Describe succinctly and clearly what the end result of the learners' activities will be. Do not list the steps that students will go through to get to the end point, that belongs in the Process section |
Process
This section outlines how the learners will accomplish the task. This section includes each step to be followed, student’s roles, and tools for organizing information. To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? In this section, you should also provide some guidance on how to organize the information gathered.
This section also explains the use of the resources page and provides a link to the resources. Learners will access the on-line resources that you've identified as they go through the Process.
Evaluation
This section describes the evaluation criteria needed to meet performance and content standards. Describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. The assessment rubric(s) or checklist should align with the culminating project or performance, as outlined in the task section of the WebQuest. Explain the grading process and provide a link to the Evaluation page. Identify whether there will be a common grade for group work vs. individual grades.
Conclusion
The conclusion brings closure and encourages reflection. Summarize what the learners will have accomplished or learned by completing this activity or lesson. Include some rhetorical questions to encourage them to extend their thinking into other content beyond this lesson.
