So for the past two weeks we have been working on our Web Quests. Maybe it was just because I was having trouble being inspired, or because I never did a Web Quest in school, but I was not really a fan of the procedure.
I based my quest off of the young adult novel Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. This is a wonderful novel, full of witty sarcasm and a positive environmental message, but I don't know if it's ready for the Internet. While I designed my quest to be one that teaches about different regional areas of the United States and the importance of protecting their wildlife, I feel as though it wasn't a very good lesson for an English class.
I have not quite given up on the idea of Web Quests or their effectiveness, but I think that the next time I attempt to make one of my own, I will need a more purposefully driven idea that reaches students on a Language Arts level.
