 **Introduction**

What is your hobby? How can you make that an adventure?

 **The Task**

The student will use the Internet to assist in the creation of an adventure brochure.  .
 *  design a flier
 * construct grammatically correct sentences
 * use various parts of speech
 * include photographs from the internet

 **The Process** 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.** 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.
 * 1) First you'll be assigned to a team of 3 students...
 * 2) Once you've picked a role to play....
 * 3) ... and so on.

 **Evaluation** Describe to the learners how their performance will be evaluated. Specify whether there will be a common grade for group work vs. individual grades.
