Webquest of the Month

Here is a rather nice webquest on London which I used recently with my pre - intermediate students. It fits in well with many course book contents, and can also be used at Intermediate level.

Christmas Webquest

Ho, ho, ho! Yes, it´s almost Christmas and I know many of you will be looking for something a little different for your last class before Christmas.

I hope you enjoy this webquest for Upper Intermediate students I found recently- the students research Christmas traditions and write up their findings as a class magazine.

Webquest of the month

Have you ever tried using a webquest with your students? Maybe you´re not sure what they are..if this is the case, have a look at the article in our October blog on Halloween. There you´ll find a nice webquest example and some ideas on how to use webquests.

This month I´m publishing a webquest which I found recently (sorry, I haven´t got the reference ..if anyone would like to let me know the author?) and which fits in nicely with work at an Intermediate or Upper Intermediate level on travel or American culture: Route 66. This is the famous highway immortalized in song and verse...which actually no longer exists as such, but lives in in the Nation´s consciousness! Try it- something a little different.

Halloween is nearly here!

Halloween is nearly here and what better way to celebrate it than doing a Webquest with your students. For those who don´t know what a webquest is, here is a short definition :

A webquest is an assignment which asks students to use the World Wide Web to learn about and/or synthesize their knowledge on a specific topic. A “true” webquest, as originally designed by Bernie Dodge and Tom March, requires synthesis of the new knowledge by accomplishing a “task,” often to solve a hypothetical problem or address a real-world issue. Simpler web activities designed for students to investigate and collect new knowledge from web-based sources can also be a more engaging and effective replacement for read-the-chapter-and-complete-the-review-questions.

Essentially, webquests are mini projects in which a large percentage of the input and material is supplied by the Internet.

For more information and reasons for doing webquests, and how to structure and produce webquests, read this article below:
