 Teacher's Comments and Other Thoughts: This webquest allows the students to utilize technology and other resources to aide in their learning. It is important to incorporate different types of learning styles to help motivate the students and their learning. This assignment can be done over a few days and can be integrated into other subject areas. For example, more in-depth writing assignments could be generated on this topic. Reading different types of literature about ecosystems prior to completing this quest might also peak the students interest. The students may also create a biome of their own using a shoebox and other materials. A webquest is an excellent way to give the students ownership of their learning. Essentially, the students are acquiring the information on their specific ecosystem and then teaching that material to the rest of the class. This is a fun and different way to go about learning!
