The purpose of a WebQuest is to give your students the chance to use the Internet as a powerful research tool and resource for learning. The majority of the resources for your students for this project should be Internet-based.

Every resource you provide your students should be credible and reliable. You should have evaluated each website thoroughly and feel confident about every resource you link to your WebQuest. Here is the evaluation sheet we used in class: [| InternetResourceEval.doc]

Now that you have good resources, how are your students supposed to use them? Make it clear in the Resources section what the purpose of each Internet site is. Are there any mandatory sites that everyone should use? Are some sites for specific roles?

In addition to having resources for your students to learn about the content, consider providing resources to help them in the creation of their performance task. Find good tutorials on the tools your students will use. Find websites to support them in public speaking, composing a good business letter, preparing a persuasive argument, etc.
