To accomplish the task, what steps should the learners go through? Use the numbered list format in your web editor to automatically number the steps in the procedure. Describing this section well will help other teachers to see how your lesson flows and how they might adapt it for their own use, so the more detail and care you put into this, the better. Remember that this whole document is addressed to the student, however, so describe the steps using the second person.

  1. First you'll be assigned to a team of 3 students where each group member will be responsible for a different job.

Learn about the different jobs

  • All students will get together and use story map to discuss characters, setting, problem, events, and solution.
  • Then they will break off into groups to learn about their specific job responsibilities
  • Then they will work independently on their part of the project.
Use group story map to write the story. Begin by editing notes. Writer will give editor work as soon as the first section is completed.

Editing checklist.

 Using KidPix, students will create drawings to illustrate the story.

Begin by creating a cover.

Begin by choosing font, and color. Create a template to put the text and illustrations.

Begin by typing a summary of the book for the bookjacket.

  1. Once you've picked a role to play....
  2. ... and so on.

Learners will access the on-line resources that you've identified as they go through the Process. You may have a set of links that everyone looks at as a way of developing background information, or not. If you break learners into groups, embed the links that each group will look at within the description of that stage of the process. (Note, this is a change from the older WebQuest templates which included a separate Resources section. It's now clear that the resources belong in the Process section rather than alone.)

In the Process block, you might also provide some guidance on how to organize the information gathered. This advice could suggestions to use flowcharts, summary tables, concept maps, or other organizing structures. The advice could also take the form of a checklist of questions to analyze the information with, or things to notice or think about. If you have identified or prepared guide documents on the Web that cover specific skills needed for this lesson (e.g. how to brainstorm, how to prepare to interview an expert), link them to this section.
