 * Design a comic bookby [|Valerie Killpack] - Friday, October 30, 2009, 12:54 PM ||
 * =  || I have done this once with a middle school class, and they had a lot of fun and had to use those higher level thinking skills to put their story together. We did this later in the year (I taught language arts) and had about 3 different stories they had written in their portfolios saved up that they could choose from. It took a little longer than it should have because I didn't give them time to consider what they wanted before I took them to the computer lab and they had too many ideas, but once they narrowed them down it came out really nice and the kids were very proud of their projects. They used copy, paste, but they also had to figure out how to show things in pictures that were not going to be in words. It allowed them to visualize their writing, which really helped some of my special ed. students a lot, and some of my other students who had trouble getting into a lecture style class. It was a great way to bring visualization, kinesthetics, and technology into my classroom. ||

(Spend up to 10-15 minutes doing this.) 4) Use the Rubric for Evaluating WebQuests to evaluate the quality of your chosen WebQuest. Your ultimate goal is to determine if it is indeed a worthwhile WebQuest, or if it is just an online activity. (Spend at least an hour on this part. You'll need to know your WebQuest very well in order to do the next few steps.) 5) Complete the [|WebQuest Questionnaire] · Be sure you give complete responses showing quality of thought. (This should take you 30-45 minutes) 6) Post your Rubric and your Questionnaire in the Assignments folder by the end of class today. Be sure your name is included in the file name.
