Your Impressions

WebQuest	Strengths	Weaknesses
Saving the Gorillas	The webquest uses emotion to get their point across. There a many questions that require more research.	Asks some question which do not require higher thinking skills.
The World of Shakespeare	It doesn't ask questions which can be easily answered. Students must really research the different aspects of Shakespeare's life in order to excel in this project.	From the standpoint of The Altitudinist, this webquest has very few weaknesses. I believe it would really help students learn about the life and culture surrounding Shakespeare.
Become an Anti-Earthquake Designer!	Students are able to evaluate themselves on how their project turns out. This will hopefully let them learn from their mistakes.	All information is gathered from preexisting sources. Very little critical thinking.
Foreign Country Presentation	Students not only learn facts about their country, but also the many cultural aspects as well. The desire to win could drive some students to learn as much as they can.	The one major weakness I see is the possibility for plagiarizing work. The would defeat the purpose of the project.
Waves and Sound	Students should have a better understanding of waves if the project was fully carried out.	Process reminded me too much of a school textbook. I didn't even want to read it.

The majority of out group think that the Shakespeare and Foreign Country webquests to be the best. The main issue with Shakespeare is that it takes too much time, and the Foreign Country presentation doesn't have enough collaboration between students. These webquests could be adjusted quite easily to satisfy all members of our group. Saving the Gorillas and Anti-Earthquake Designer were okay webquests. Our group felt that there could be improvements, but they weren't terrible. Waves and sound was the worst webquest in our opinion. The text seemed to come straight from a textbook, and it just wasn't all that impressive
