= Authentic Assessment =

Directions/requirements for your web-quest creation:

 * ==Students will collaborate within groups of 4 on a web-quest topic. ==
 * ==Groups will be chosen by the instructor and group members will be within the same grade level so that the web-quest created will be of use to all creators. ==


 * ==Groups will use the mind-mapping handout to brainstorm their web-quests as a group. ==


 * ==Once groups have decided upon their topic and have brainstormed ideas for the task, process, and other components they will then utilize Quest garden to create their web-quest. Groups should have created their accounts and viewed the quest garden tutorial prior to the workshop today. Groups may choose to view the tutorial for quest garden again as part of their project time. ==


 * ==Web-Quest Creations will take place on @http://www.questgarden.com ==


 * ==Groups are to complete each section in the web-quest and then fill out the corresponding checkpoint for each section. ==


 * ==As check points are completed I will respond to them and give comments on their progress. ==


 * ==As groups complete the process section of their web-quests they will fill out the process checklist to ensure that their process makes the grade . [[file:Process Checklist handout.docx]]==


 * ==As groups complete their web-quests they need to keep in mind: ==
 * ==Critical attributes of good web-quests ==
