WebQuest

The WebQuest model was developed in 1995 by a professor at San Diego State University. WebQuest is an activity that is developed to increase the student’s ability to research using the internet and refine their thinking to answer higher level questions. Students can either work together or independently to complete the assignment. The teacher is responsible for creating the assignment and making it available for the students. I believe that this assignment has great potential for any subject and all grades. The time necessary to create the WebQuest is minimal to the growth one will see in the students’ ability to research and answer questions.

I have created a WebQuest on the topic of Colorado Weather. Students will be addressing the Colorado Content Standards set for 4th grade science and reading,writing, and composition. Students will assume the role of a meterologist for a Colorado city and create a weather presentation for the class.
