Lesson 2–Web Quest Student
Assignment
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.si.edu/resource/faq/nmah/harlem.htm
http://www.si.umich.edu/CHICO/Harlem/
Overview: Each person in the pair will pose 12
questions total about life in Harlem in the 1940’s
and 1950’s and his work keeping in mind this essential
question “What made Harlem 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 African Americans concentrate in 1940’s Harlem?
Application: What
about the geography of Harlem made it a community.
Analysis: How does
Oakland compare to Harlem?
Synthesis: What are
the elements that connect residents or separate the residents
from the rest of New York?
Evaluation: What
does the future hold for Harlem?
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.
