When I first heard about the webquest project, I reminisced back to the only time I ever remember having to complete one in a school environment: High School World Religions. This webquest-like project was one of my favorite assignments throughout that entire semester. We had to research a certain amount of websites from a long list given to us, and then complete an "essay". It was hard...for sure....but I feel like I learned more during this project than I ever would have if the project would not have been included in the curriculum. Anyways...I wanted to create a similar webquest-like assignment for a similar age group of upper-level thinking high school students. I had it finished way ahead of time...or so I thought. In class on Tuesday, the professor did not seem to feel the same way. It was "too complex" and there was "not enough explanation". How much explanation do high school students really need? But...I need to pass...soooo...I will be re-amping my webquest to be simpler and more detailed so that even the most ridiculous student can understand. I don't honestly mind, but I simply wish I would have known whether to be simple...or not.
