The 5 Themes of Geography in Chicago, IL.
Evaluation
Some important things to make your Web Quest a success and get an excellent grade:
- Use teamwork always, if your group sets up tasks and a member is falling behind, don't assume they are being lazy, some of the sections are much more involved than others. You are a team, imagine you are running a relay race, if one runner is having trouble, the next runners just need to make up for a little lost time.
- Ask Questions! It is much better for your grade if you understand your task.
- Read the individual assignment and grading before you begin. You may find it is easier to focus when you know what you are expected to do, and what to look for along the way.
- Ask a friend, parent, or other relative to look over your work and get another point of view. Don't let them just look at it for a minute and hand it back, get someone who will give you honest ways to make your project better. Do the same with your individual portions, but use your group members to review them. Giving someone ideas to make their project better is not saying their project is bad, it is just a different point of view, a new set of ideas. Remember everything is graded as a team, be a team, be a success, be the best!
