 * What is a webquest? (Adapted from Teachers First) **

A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about a specific topic. A webquest requires synthesis of the new knowledge by accomplishing a “task,” often to solve a hypothetical problem or address a real-world issue. Simpler web activities designed for students to investigate and collect new knowledge from web-based sources can also be a more engaging and effective replacement for read-the-chapter-and-complete-the-review-questions.


 * The assignment can be given on paper. For an example, ****click here**** to print out a simple "on paper" webquest on Laura Ingalls Wilder.
 * A webquest assignment can also be given on the web itself by sending students to a web page which serves as the "home base" for the student’s information search. For an example, ****click here**** to see an "on the web" webquest bsed on Harper Lee's book To Kill A Mockingbird.
