The Task
Describe crisply and clearly what the end result of the learners' activities will be. The task could be a:
problem or mystery to be solved;
position to be formulated and defended;
product to be designed;
complexity to be analyzed;
personal insight to be articulated;
summary to be created;
persuasive message or journalistic account to be crafted;
a creative work, or
anything that requires the learners to process and transform the information they've gathered.
If the final product involves using some tool (e.g., HyperStudio, the Web, video), mention it here.
Don't list the steps that students will go through to get to the end point. That belongs in the Process section.
See lots of suggestions for different types of tasks by viewing the Webquest Taxonomy.
The Process
To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? (Describing this section well will help other teachers to see how your lesson flows and how they might adapt it for their own use, so the more detail and care you put into this, the better.) Remember that this whole document is addressed to the student, however, so describe the steps using the second person.
First you'll be assigned to a team of 3 students...
Once you've picked a role to play....
... and so on.
Learners will access the on-line resources that you've identified as they go through the Process. You may have a set of overview links that as a way of developing background information, or not. Divide your links and other resources and place them after the corresponding step in the process. Use your annotations to help you decide where to place useful links and resources within the process steps to be of most use for the student.
In the Process block, you might also provide some guidance on how to organize the information gathered. This advice could include suggestions to use flowcharts, summary tables, concept maps, or other organizing structures. The advice could also take the form of a checklist of questions to analyze the information with, or things to notice or think about. Remember, for example, if you suggest a flow chart, include a link that will carefully show what a flow chart is and how to create one.
Conclusion
Write a paragraph here that summarizes what they will have accomplished or learned by completing this activity or lesson. You might also include some rhetorical questions or additional links to encourage them to extend their thinking into other content beyond this lesson.
Evaluation Rubrik Template
You will have your blogquest evaluated by others in the class who will use this rubric
Annotated Bibliography
Include a complete annotated bibliography for all online, print, and people resources that you have used even if you didn't include them within the PROCESS section.
