Web Quest

So far for our web quest we have completed our tasks, process, standards, and objective.  We are working hard to get things together and finalized before we submit.  We are also making our own rubric for our students to follow for when they are completing the WQ assignment.  Natalie and I are working great together to have a successful webquest!

April 8, 2011

This week Natalie and I are working on our hook for the WebQuest.  We decided to have our students start on the East Coast and make their way to California for the great Gold Rush!  Some things that we considered for our students to think about for their journey are:
1.  How will you save money for your journey?
2.  How will you break up the jobs between you and your partners?
3.  What route will you take to the West coast? land or water?
4.  How will you find food?
5.  Will you bring medication in case of sickness?

The students will also come up with their own traveling precautions for their journey.  We are also having the students create a poster to encourage people to come out to California for the Gold Rush as an art integration.  They can even come up with their own team names for inspiration!
