Needs: This short preparation project is to be done with a partner I will choose for you. You will need a computer connected to the internet for an uninterrupted hour or two. You will create and print one question document.  USE 5 DIFFERENT SITES, for example:

http://www.wwnorton.com/osb/endau.htm

http://www.math.buffalo.edu/~sww/HIMES/CHESTER.html

Overview: Each person in the pair will pose 12 questions total about Chester Himes’ life and his work keeping in mind the essential question “What made Chester Himes’ stories so popular?”

The questions must be two each of each classification of Bloom’s Taxonomy (that is, 2 comprehension questions, 2 analysis questions, 2 synthesis question and so on). 

Discover your questions by finding and visiting the web sites and by thinking about the material you read there. Compose your questions in the following form(s) indicating the type of question:

• Knowledge :  Who, what, when or where type of questions.
  Comprehension:  Why did Harlem residents respect Grave Digger Jones?
  
• Application:  In Rage in Harlem why did the protagonist want to get his girl out of jail?
  
• Analysis:  What effect did the presence of policemen have on the perpetrators?
  
• Synthesis: How do modern police departments use/not use Jones and Johnson’s techniques of policing?
  
• Evaluation:  How would this story have to be changed to set it in the year 2004?
  
  

Each question must be followed by a web site citation showing your partner where to look to begin to find the answers.

Print your questions and web sites for your partner, leaving space between each for answers to by typed or written in.

Submission & Evaluation:  Submit your printed question sheet.  I will log the sheet in the grade book so you will get credit.  Then, I will distribute question sheets to students who  have submitted a Web Quest.  Once I have the answers and have logged them in my grade book, you will receive the completed answer sheet for checking.

Web Site Evaluation:  Use the web site evaluation check list to find if the sites you have found are usable, viable sites.  You may not use sites such as encyclopedia sites, general sites or commercial sites.  Do the evaluation for each site of the 5 you find.
