Student Generated Webquests

Upon returning from the holiday break, my students will embark on a very unique learning experience. They will spend two weeks developing and creating their very own Webquests!



I will be taking them step by step through the different stages of development and their final product will be a published Webquest.



I prefer not to limit their topics, however, for my own selfish reasons, I am going to have them take the perspective of a teacher and they will have the opportunity (through the creation of their Webquest) to demonstrate that they not only understand the content of Language Arts so far, but they in turn can apply what they have learned within my classroom to teach others.



I have created some links for them here so that they may get a head start on familiarizing themselves with the whole process of creating a Webquest.
