Webquest - 'Biodiversity in Our Backyard' (SOSE)

I enjoyed viewing Eva's webquest and wondered if I could upload mine. I made my webquest (SOSE Curriculum & Pedagogy) for an assignment last year. Initially this concept filled me with fear as well! The idea of plotting the learning journey in order to achieve learning outcomes was appealing. It was the medium in which I was to construct the task which left me filled with dread. However, like most things in life, I soon discovered that reality was not nearly as scary as my imagination and once I actually started I thoroughly enjoyed the task and willingly spent considerable time on it.

Webquests engage students in the Dimension 4: Use Knowledge Meaningfully, process of investigation or inquiry (Marzano & Pickering, 2006, p. 191). The task involve an authentic purpose and require students to solve a problem or take some sort of action.
