WebQuest Feedback
Prior to reading lesson plan and viewing your artifact, I expect the following conditions to be
met. If they are not met, your work will be considered “late” (and incur all late penalties) until
these following three conditions are met.
• All work (unless it is germane to the lesson) must be written in formal English and observe standard formal conventions of punctuation, spelling and grammar.
• Please proofread your work before posting. Remember, grammar and spelling checkers may not catch all of your errors.

WebQuest
Elements
0 points
Missed the
opportunity to
provide
foundational
elements of a
WebQuest
including an
Introduction, Task,
Procedure,
Resources,
Evaluation, and
Conclusion.
10 point
Contained some of
the elements of a
WebQuest, however,
lacked key elements.
20 points
Appropriate elements to identify
this web-based activity as a
WebQuest.
Overall
Visual
Appeal
0 points
Missed the
opportunity to
provide a legible
website. Color is
garish and/or a
typographic choice
impedes (fonts)
legibility.
Background
interferes with the
readability.
10 point
Graphic elements do
not distract from
legibility or content.
20 points
Appropriate and thematic
graphic elements are used to
make visual connections that
contribute to the understanding
of concepts, ideas and
relationships.
Navigation
& Flow
0 points
Missed the
opportunity to
provide navigation
and flow. Getting
through the lesson
is confusing and
unconventional.
Pages can't be
found easily and/or
the way back isn't
clear.
10 point Navigation
is apparent, however,
there are a few places
where the learner can
get lost and not know
where to go next.
20 points
Navigation is seamless. It is
always clear to the learner what
all the pieces are and how to get
to them.
Introduction
Motivational
Effectiveness
of
Introduction
0 point
Missed the
opportunity to
provide a
compelling
introduction: The
introduction is
purely factual, with
no appeal to
relevance or social
importance
OR
The scenario posed
is transparently
bogus and doesn't
respect the media
literacy of today's
learners.
10 points
A good attempt at an
introduction, but
perhaps not
exemplary. The
introduction relates
somewhat to the
learner's interests
and/or describes a
compelling question
or problem.
20 points
The introduction draws the
reader into the lesson by
relating to the learner's interests
or goals and/or engagingly
describing a compelling
question or problem.
Cognitive
Effectiveness
of the
Introduction
0 point
Missed the
opportunity to
provide a clear
indication of the
direction of the
WebQuest. The
introduction doesn't
prepare the reader
for what is to come,
or build on what the
learner already
knows.
10 points
The introduction
makes some
reference to learner's
prior knowledge and
previews to some
extent what the
lesson is about.
20points
The introduction builds on
learner's prior knowledge and
effectively prepares the learner
by foreshadowing what the
lesson is about.
Task (The task is the end result of student efforts... not the steps involved in getting there.)
Cognitive
Level of the
Task
0 point
Task requires
simply
comprehending or
retelling of
information found
on web pages and
answering factual
questions.
10 points
Task is doable but is
limited in its
significance to
students' lives. The
task requires analysis
of information and/or
putting together
information from
several sources.
20 points
Task is doable and engaging,
and elicits thinking that goes
beyond rote comprehension.
The task requires synthesis of
multiple sources of information,
and/or taking a position, and/or
going beyond the data given and
making a generalization or
creative product.
Process (The process is the step-by-step description of how students will accomplish the task.)
Scaffolding
of Process
0 point
Missed the
opportunity to
provide a clearly
delineated process.
The process lacks
strategies and
organizational tools
needed for students
to gain the
knowledge needed
to complete the
task.
Activities are of
little significance to
one another and/or
to the
accomplishment of
the task.
10 points
Strategies and
organizational tools
embedded in the
process are
insufficient to ensure
that all students will
gain the knowledge
needed to complete
the task.
Some of the activities
do not relate
specifically to the
accomplishment of
the task.
20 points
Process includes strategies and
organizational tools to access
and gain the knowledge needed
to complete the task.
Activities are clearly related and
designed to take the students
from basic knowledge to higher
level thinking.
Resources (Note: you should evaluate all resources linked to the page, even if they are in
sections other than the Process block. Also note that books, video and other off-line resources
can and should be used where appropriate.)
Relevance &
Quantity and
Quality of
Resources
0 point
Missed the
opportunity to
provide compelling
resources.
Resources provided
are not sufficient
for students to
accomplish the
task.
OR
There are too many
resources for
learners to look at
in a reasonable
time.
OR
Links are mundane.
They lead to
information that
could be found in a
classroom
encyclopedia.
10 points
There is some
connection between the
resources and the
information needed for
students to accomplish
the task. Some
resources don't add
anything new, while
other links carry
information not
ordinarily found in a
classroom.
20 points
There is a clear and
meaningful connection
between all the resources and
the information needed for
students to accomplish the
task. Every resource carries its
weight.
Links make excellent use of
the Web's timeliness and
colorfulness.
Varied resources provide
enough meaningful
information for students to
think deeply.
Evaluation
Clarity of
Evaluation
Criteria
0 point
Missed the
opportunity to
provide clear
criteria. Criteria for
success are not
described.
10 points
Criteria for success are
at least partially
described.
20 points
Criteria for success are clearly
stated in the form of a rubric.
Criteria include qualitative as
well as quantitative
descriptors.
The evaluation instrument
clearly measures what students
must know and be able to do to
accomplish the task.
Quality of
work
(grammar
and
syntax)*
0 point
Missed the
opportunity to
provide work
without grammar,
syntax, rhetoric
and spelling
errors.
10 points
Provided work with
any of the following:
• Syntax errors
• Grammatical errors
• Rhetoric errors
• Spelling errors
20 points
Provided work without
grammar, syntax, rhetoric
and spelling errors.
