WebQuest

[|WebQuest Assignment]

After learning about WebQuests, my class was assigned to create our own. WebQuest are similar to online assignments. They can be completely online then end with a presentation on what you learned or it can have several assignments through out. WebQuests can really be anything the teacher wants to cover.

My WebQuest is about the novel, //A House On Mango Street//, by Sandra Cisneros. Throughout this assignment the student will learn about vignettes. They will further their skills doing close reads of texts. I really liked how my WebQuest turned out. It was my first real lesson plan that I have created and I feel that it is something I could use one day in the classroom.

I think WebQuests are an excellent tool to use in the classroom. Another cool thing about Webquests is the educator can cater them to any topic for any age. They help the students use research tools on the internet, and I feel they help engage the student to the text or lesson. I will definitely try and use WebQuests in my future classroom. They are such a fun and different way to teach a text.
