TASK 1: Read your peers' WebQuests, and compare their professionalism with your own. After that, grade YOUR OWN WebQuest with the following grading sheet, which you also received in an email, and either bring your printed-out self-evaluation sheet to class on Wednesday, and submit it in the first 10 minutes of class, or email it to me before Wednesday's class starts.
If you are not in class on Monday, figure out at home how to hyperlink your WebQuest URL (click on "publish" in the WebQuest editor, and copy the URL; then, go to this blog entry, click on the globe with the paper clip, and hyperlink this URL with "paste" to your topic). Publish by class time on Monday, Sept. 15th. If it isn't published by class time, it won't be graded because your peers and I cannot see it.
I will only grade WebQuests for which the URL's were posted before or in Monday's class, and for which I have received your self-evaluation on Wednesday. No late assignments accepted.
TASK 2: As a comment to this blog entry, note down the name and topic of your FAVORITE WebQuest (you can also pick your own), and write in one sentence why you think it is so outstanding. Put yourself in the role of a student, not a teacher (as if you had to do the WebQuest). The person who wins will get to choose our next in-class reading for the blog summaries ;-)
