Webquest review

The first review was the insect site. The introduction was good and the site asked questions for students to react to.
The task gave simple questions as well that i would use in a classroom setting.
The process for the task I would say will take some time for second graders but again very good for class room settings.
The evaluation made good sense it can be seen as a guiding tool for the kids to get a good grade.
The conclusion was vague but overall the web quest was good for a second level class. I would use this web quest for a classroom.

The next web quest was The Four Seasons right away in the introduction i can tell what I'm doing and what I'm about to learn. The task gave simple instructions on what to do. Having a group of four with each student researching the type of season they are responsible for.
The process was explained well and the having six steps is a great number and not to complicated for second grade level students.The evaluation gave a clear understanding on what students needed to do to get a good grade as well.
Overall this webquest is great and allows students to engage in learning about the seasons.

The third site gave a brief web quest that is probably used for a higher grade class. Their was no evaluation so I would not know how to get a good score for this project. However a lot of information on Rosetta Stone is given and the task as well as the conclusion provides the information that you should learn from this project. Great for a group setting but not great for a student on knowing what exactly to do. You do learn about Egypt and where Rosetta stone came from but students would not know how be graded huge problem.

The last site observed was a review of liner equations. This site has a great introduction that clearly states what im going to learn and going to be doing. The task was not clearly stated but the process was. The process give specific points on what the students should be doing. For example the the process said watch the video and solve the worksheets clear examples on what to do. The evaluation was really vague. I understood what to do but not for every category listed. The conclusion was vague as well but i did get what i was supposed to accomplish. This site may be too vague on what to do clearly but it does work for a class room setting. I believe with a little more explanation in the process or task students would know what to do.

Part 2
This is my webquest Since I'm a History education major I decided to make a web quest project based around the three great wars in America History. This following link take you to my web quest
