Task
The teacher will take the student’s to the computer lab or stay in the classroom if there are enough computers. The students will be given a webquest to work on individually. The webquest will be on earthquakes. Students will follow directions on the webquest that will lead them to a site about earthquakes to obtain information and to answer questions given in the webquest. The questions are to check the students understanding and know that they actually read through the webquest. Students will have the rest of the class period to finish the webquest and hand it in.
Conclusion
The last five minutes of class, the teacher will stop the students from what they are doing and tell them to take out a piece of paper. The teacher will tell the student’s to write a short reflective essay on what they learned through the webquest. This will be their “ticket out” of the class.
