Create a WebQuest from scratch by following these steps:

• Select a project topic. Use the benchmarks and standards discussed in your block classes to help you locate an appropriate topic. Do a quick search to see if there are resources on the Web to support that topic.
• Generate ideas as to what your topic will be using The WebQuest Taskonomy.
• Decide on a task that you would give students that would focus their learning to meet the standard you've chosen. Use the Taskonomy Page for guidance to help you craft a task that goes beyond merely answering questions or retelling what was read.
• Download a template and write up your Task in the appropriate spot. Give the WebQuest a name and add that name to the title and the page properties. Save your WebQuest as WebQuest.html.
• Continue completing the template in this order: Evaluation, Process, Introduction, Conclusion. Follow the prompts and your instructor's advice to finish out the page. Be sure to:
  • Construct the Task and begin your Introduction
  • Save your work every few minutes!
• Your WebQuest must have the following for credit:
  • Page titled using "Format>Page Properties" menu command.
  • Background color and text colors appropriately chosen.
  • 1 graphic to replace the "place graphic here" statement, but you may want to include a few other graphics to keep the WebQuest eye-catching!
  • Each section of the WebQuest completed with no typos, spelling or grammar errors.
  • Although the number of resources you include with your WebQuest will be determined by your task, please check with me if you are using less than 3 resource websites incorporated in the WebQuest.
  • Graphics and WebQuest.html saved in your web folder.
• Link your WebQuest to your index page of your webpage and upload index.html plus WebQuest.html and any graphic pictures to your server account.
• You may (and I encourage you to) work on a team to complete this project.
• Your instructor will use the WebQuest evaluation rubric to assess your work. Be sure to study this rubric to see how your quest will be evaluated.

Examples of webquests constructed by previous IRED 320 students:

• A Stately Arrangment
• Alexander's Trip to Australia
• Where in the world will you live?
• WebQuest of the Planets
• The First Thanksgiving

Create a Project-Based Lesson Design that incorporates a webpage as a project students will complete. Be sure to include:

• Review the lesson plan format and the sample project-based lesson plan.
• Be sure to include:
  • Margins set at .5", invisibles turned on
  • Top section with leader tab lines and name/section plus Date/Topic or Subject in columns using tab stops
  • A one-line header with name of vtrip and date code (with date code right justified using a tabstop, not spaces)
  • Footer with page number
  • 1 floating graphic inserted somewhere on the page
  • No tabs or spaces used to align text
  • Indent marker used to hang paragraphs
  • No typos, spelling or grammar mistakes
  • All sections completed (Remember to include closing questions in the evaluation section as well as any activities you will use as evaluation.)
