Teacher Script

The following instructions should be helpful to you as you guide your students through the process portion of the WebQuest. Feel free to make any modifications as you run through the process!

1. This will be the basic introduction where you will tell the students they will be creating a presentation based on one of the systems of the human body. Here you  will tell them your expectations as well as the directions and responsibilities of each group. You will also explain to students that groups will be randomly selected by picking numbers out of a hat. Those students with like numbers will be working together. Also, the number selected also determines what body system the group will be working on.

2. At this stage, you will want to suggest that group members divide up the responsibilities and take on a particular role. You will want to encourage students to consider their strengths and weaknesses when selecting their roles. Hopefully, students will take on a task they can handle and have some degree of success.

3. Once the students have selected their roles, tell them it is time to get to work. Make them aware of the time constraints and set a presentation date for each group. I think the students work better when they know when the deadline is. Also, you want to show the students the different websites you have provided for them (this may depend on how computer literate your students are). Tell them to use their time wisely!

Once the students know what is expected of them and they get rolling along, there is not much you have to do as the facilitator. Monitor student progress and answer any questions they may have and you should have very creative and interesting projects!
