WebQuests
for the Classroom

Day is a social studies teacher at Littlerock High School
in Littlerock, California. He has been teaching for 11 years and holds a B A
from Chapman University and MA from California State University, Bakersfield.
He has been an AP World History Reader for 3 years.
What
is WebQuest?
1. WebQuest requires a teacher to structure and format a
lesson in advance. By doing so, the teacher will be better able to ensure
students are on task and working toward a particular objective.
2. WebQuest includes an introduction. The introduction
includes necessary background information, and question(s).
3. WebQuest involves a task that leads to a final
product.
4. WebQuest is a process, which will aid the student to
stay on task and achieve a positive outcome.
The following is a WebQuest sample that addresses
standard three of 10th grade California World History, the Industrial
Revolution. Standard three links standards two and four. Standard two is the
Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment Era. This era is regarding freedom to
experiment within the hard sciences and expression of ideas. The monarchs,
nobility, and church once stifled these sciences and expressions. The welfare
of all people improved once bonds loosened and inventions were built. The
result was wealth brought about by an unfettered and unrestricted explosion of
market forces known as the Industrial Revolution. Although advantageous, it was
also the result of increased misery in working and living conditions, as
defined by the following WebQuest:
Title
Page
This page starts the WebQuest, titled Industrial
Revolution WebQuest. Each item on this page should be one or two words to give
a summary of what the page will be. For the purposes of WebQuest, there is an
Introduction, Task, Process, Evaluation, Conclusion, Teacher's Page, and
Credits. The page should include graphics or pictures, representing elements of
the WebQuest. Introduction The introduction is a short, brief description of
the Industrial Revolution. "In the middle of the 17th to 18th century.
Great Britain entered a new phase of history. Changes in farming introduced an
Agricultural Revolution. This revolution included new technologies and methods
to improve the productivity and efficiencies of growing and harvesting crops.
The opening of society to innovations did not end during this revolution, but
kick started a new change for Great Britain called the Industrial Revolution.
It is this revolution that will forever change the economic, social, and
cultural landscape of society."
Task
A short concise explanation of the events is taking place
during the Industrial Revolution and the product a student must produce. For
this assignment, students are investigators. They are to investigate the
social/living conditions of the people of Britain. Prepare recommendations for
changes in government policy.
Process The process splits the variety of detailed tasks
that the students are to accomplish. The following is an example:
1. Assign students to a team.
2. Provide each team with a set of the following
responsibilities to a particular task:
a. conditions enabling England to be the first country to
industrialize
b. causes for the urbanization of England and examples of
increases
c. life and living conditions of children
d. working conditions of children.
e. Hfe and living conditions of women
f. working conditions of women
g. living conditions of families
h. working conditions in factories
i. working conditions in mines
j . sanitary impacts in urban areas
k. environmental impacts in urban areas
l. conditions of poorhouses
3. to obtain and process information by collaborating
with teammates
4. to present findings and formulate recommendations
The Production of Products The production of products
includes:
1. a typed double-space essay including findings and
recommendations
2. a PowerPoint presentation, to the class, showing
conditions and recommendations for change
Sites to Review and Research Students will receive a list
of sites for the assignment. However, a teacher who wishes to access sites can
easily establish a hyperlink to each. An example would be if I wished to view
the link: http://www.womeninworldhistory.com/lesson7. html, I might use the
hyperlink of The Plight of Women's Work in Early Industrial Revolution.
Examples of websites for this assignment are as follows

After thoughts
I have found that after putting together a WebQuest and
presenting it to my students for the first time is to reñect upon the process.
This will help in making the necessary changes to the project in the future and
any other WebQuests a teacher may design for other subjects.
