STAGE AND PROVIDES SOME BACKGROUND
INFORMATION.

A TASK THAT IS DOABLE AND

INTERESTING.

A SET OF INF OR MATIO N SOU RCES

NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TASK. MANY
(THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY ALL) OF THE
RESOURCES ARE EMBEDDED IN THE
WEBQUEST DOCUMENT ITSELF AS ANCHORS
POINTING TO INFORMATION ON THE WORLD
WIDE WEB.
 A description of the pr oce ss the learners
should go through in accomplishing the task. The
process should be broken out into clearly
described steps.

Some guidance on how to organize the

information acquired. This can take the form of
guiding questions, or directions to complete
organizational frameworks.

A con cl usio n that brings closure to the

quest, reminds the learners about what they've
learned, and perhaps encourages them to extend
the experience into other domains.
