(Part 3):
A Web quest is an inquiry based
lesson in which a group of students complete an overall task using Internet
resources. Each student has a specific role in their group.
This type of lesson promotes higher order thinking. For example,
as a culminating activity, students may have to design and produce a new
product or write a persuasive paper that explains how to solve a problem.
Typically, a Web quest includes the following parts: an introduction,
description of the task, a process for completing the task,
resources, an evaluation, and a conclusion.
