Introduction

Write a short paragraph here to introduce the webquest to the students. If there is a role or scenario involved (e.g., "You are a detective trying to identify the mysterious poet.") then here is where you'll set the stage. If there's no motivational intro like that, use this section to provide a short advance organizer or overview.

Describe crisply and clearly what the end result of the learners' activities will be. The task could be a:

• series of questions that must be answered,
• summary to be created,
• problem to be solved,
• position to be formulated and defended,
• creative work, or
• anything that requires the learners to process and transform the information they've gathered.

WebQuest Taskonomy Cluster - click on the various sections in this image for a detailed look at the type of tasks which can be carried out in a webquest. This terrific set of clickable image maps was created by Mary Vieira of San Diego City Schools to show the important characteristics of each type of webquest task.

Use this space to point out places on the internet that will be available for the learners to use to accomplish the task. Embed the links within a description of each resource so that your learners know in advance what they're clicking on.

To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? This section is the main focus of the quest. Make sure that the steps are clear and precise.

1. This is step one.
   
2. This is the second step.
   
3. ... and so on.

May include links to Resources in this section, instead of above.
