Introduction

Use the Internet sites linked below to find facts, opinions, images, sounds, and anything else you might come across that helps you define the key question:

State a question for the students to define.

"What does ...... mean to you?"

Before you get started, realize that you will be gathering your impressions from the Internet, so part of the real question above is:

"What does .... mean to you based upon what you find on the Internet?

The point being that you are getting the images and information that has been packaged and processed by other people. This is not necessarily bad; you just need to be aware of that.

Several Tools are linked on this page to help you complete and show your scrapbook.

Instructions

  1. Surf the Internet sites linked below.
  2. Copy any text you want by dragging across the words then using the Edit - Copy command on the menubar. Paste into a basic text editor, word processor, desktop publishing program or multimedia software.
  3. Save images you like by downloading them Note:check with the authors of the page to see if any copyright rules apply. Usually students are allowed to download images that will only be used in the classroom. A good practice to get into is looking for an email link on the page and then using it to ask permission. Either paste the images you've downloaded into a multimedia, paint or desktop publishing program (like HyperStudio, Clarisworks, or PageMaker) or use one of the graphics viewers listed as Tools on this page to display your collection of images. If you are making an HTML page as your scrapebook you must save the image file to the same folder which contains your pages.
  4. Once you have created your scrapbook, go over it carefully so that you can give clear and thoughtful reasons why you found the things you collected especially important.

Places - Resources

Use this space to point out places on the internet (or physical resources in the classroom) that will be available for the learners to use to accomplish the task. Embed the anchors within a description of each resource so that your learners know in advance what they're clicking on.

( The easiest way to insert resources is to use your bookmark file from Netscape. Open Netscape, under the Window menu, select Bookmarks, Delete/Cut all bookmarks in the file, find the resources needed to accomplish this task, as you locate each resource go to Bookmark Menu, select Add a Bookmark. When you have found all your resources, go to Window Menu, select Bookmarks, under the File Menu, select Save Bookmark File as... bookmark.htm. Now go to the Page Mill application and under File, select Open, open bookmark.htm, copy /paste these resources into this webquest document.)
