This project was an assignment for EDUC 3302: Curriculum and Assessment, During Summer Semester We received assistance from our instructor Cherry O. Steffen. This Web Quest is not being maintained at this time. IntroductionIntroduction, Task, Process, Evaluation, Conclusion, HomeTaskProcessEvaluationConclusionHome

Students will be evaluated individually and as a group. The individual work will carry more weight since the majority of the project focuses on individual research and writing the essay for the newspaper article. Use a rubric to evaluate this project and keep the following questions in mind as well: How long did this project take? How balanced was this project for your students? Did everyone complete an application and secure two letters of recommendation? Did everyone complete their essay, including editing and publishing? Did the groups work cooperatively, both with the computer at the beginning, and with the construction of the poster at the end? Remember that although the results of student research may seem to you quite simplistic, you should evaluate their research skills and organizational skills, and know that in depth content will come with additional practice.
