webquests

by eduKate

May 20, 2009

I'm looking for more information about webquests. I hear they are fun and kids learn a ton in doing them. As one of my final 'outcomes' for the year I was thinking my students still haven't learned much about giving an oral presenation. Normally, I have a class that does lots of them but for whatever reasons: not so this year.

So, can 5th graders do webquests relatively independently (not in groups)? Can I control the outcome or product (such as "You will give a 3-5 minute speech)? Whenever I've googled a particular topic to find a webquest it has started the same: "You will ... " and typically I see 'create a brochure' or something along those lines.

Any ideas where to start to find suitable webquests, please?

Thanks ever so much.

Marnie Try "webquest.com" is a great site for webquests. Also try "questgarden" if you want to design your own. I teach 5th grade and my students would do fine with a webquest, provided that I did lots of modeling on the front end of the activity.

Good luck, Marnie
