Think about the WebQuest Evaluation Rubric (Erickson, Perkins, & Simi, n.d.),
What Makes a Question Essential? (McTighe & Wiggins, 2013), and the
example introductions found in WebQuest Introductions (Concordia
University, Nebraska, 2015).
What are the strengths of the WebQuest plan?
Your introduction sounds fun and engaging. If I were a student I would look
forward to jumping in and try to get started. Especially since I have never
travelled outside the US, this sounds like a great way to take me somewhere I
may not know very much about.
I like that it appears students will be able to choose their own presentation style
What are your suggestions for improvement?
Your presentation that students would complete sounds very large to do. To
include seven continents and cultures will produce a taste of all the places.
Maybe if your project was a collaboration of 3 people and each worked on 2-3
continents and they could put all their work together.
I like your title, as it makes me wonder if the seven minutes is how long it may
take me to learn a few things. Maybe seven periods? 77 minutes?
What is confusing or needs clarification?
I like all the essential questions, however What makes these continents unique to
other places around the world? has me a little confused. Maybe you could ask what
makes each continent unique? or organize seven unique facts about each continents
and culture. Which continent has you most intrigued? Why?
These are questions that are not answerable with finality in a single lesson or a
brief sentenceand that's the point. Their aim is to stimulate thought, to provoke
inquiry, and to spark more questions, including thoughtful student questions, not just pat
answers. (McTighe & Wiggins, 2013).
I feel that your other essential questions push students to critically think about the vision of the project.

What are some things that should be kept in mind when developing
the WebQuest?
Although during the short setup maybe every ounce of the plan was not written,
the directions of where to go, what to visit and what task to be completed at

each location would be helpful. Something to take note with such as a student
handout or using google for notes if students collaborate.

What are some additional ideas for creation tools and/or resources?
You have listed some really great resources. As mentioned before I was unclear
about which program students will be using to complete the end results. I have
used museum box in the past and it sounds like this may be a neat way for kids
to organize their trip around the world.

Introductions (Concordia University, Nebraska, 2015).
What are the strengths of the WebQuest plan?
You possible tasks and creation section is very descriptive and applicable to
your students. I can see how each student going through the process will allow
for growth in understanding cues for emotions of other people.
What are your suggestions for improvement?
For your project is this something you would do as a whole groups so that
everyone has the same meaning for each color. Would you see this as a benefit
for each student as they could see right away Sue is yellow, she is happy
today, I think that if you allow for the collaboration from the learned tasks.
Would there be a way to incorporate a technology such as using google images
to print off pictures of emotion. Emojis are huge with the kids, maybe using
them to associate emotions through the final project or part of the webquest.
What is confusing or needs clarification?

I do not think anything is confusing or in need of clarification

What are some things that should be kept in mind when developing
the WebQuest?
At the end of the webquest we should see our student with a take away and
navigation through the webquest to other site to enhance the learned skill.
What are some additional ideas for creation tools and/or resources?
I would suggest the do2learn website as well. Even though it comes across on
the google search that emotions are just for preschoolers, do2learn appears
fitting to the selected age group.
You may be able to include a clip from the movie Inside Out by Pixar.
As a wrap up you could have students pull an emotion out of a hat and make
the expression that goes along with the emotion. Other students need to guess
what the emotion is.
You could have students do a sentence or two about their feeling for the day. I
have used Edmodo which is an online program that allows for every member of
the class to post, read and respond to one another.
