From iwebquest.com, teacher Matthew Durant has developed this course that asks: "Can I design a good essential question that will inspire my students to think at a higher-level?" The focus of every webquest is an open-ended question. This course helps lead you through imagining and designing classroom conversations that help your students learn.
This WebQuest takes students (grades 5-8) on a problem-solving adventure! It helps them learn to think creatively when presented with different scenarios; develop their research skills; learn the process of brainstorming and more. Given an imaginary scenario in which they must reflect their knowledge of chocolate, students are provided a step-by-step guide of the procedure needed to complete this task. There are also suggestions for teachers on how to adapt this WebQuest into an individual classroom environment.
This website, established in 1995, is an outstanding resource for educators, students and homeschooling parents seeking to teach with the web. Find news about the WebQuest model from around the world, a page of reading and training materials, as well as a authorizing tool for creating your own WebQuests.
This WebQuest is an exciting opportunity for high school students to improve their logical thinking skills while having fun - all at the same time. Students examine the presented evidence and, through deductive reasoning and logic, determine what is relevant; they are also taught the concept of circumstantial evidence.
