Pet Threat: Human Diseases From Animal Contact

Step 1

Step 1

To begin your quest, you will pair up with another student to conduct a 
pre-WebQuest survey of students in your class on the following 
question?  
Should wild animals be taken in as pets?

After counting the results, complete a graph using Microsoft Excel OR click  
here 
to go to the NCES "Create A Graph" Website for a follow along graph making 
tool.  

Your graph may be a simple pie chart.  Be sure to give it a title, data 
labels, values and/or percentages, a key/legend, and a footer with both of 
your names and your class name.  

This will be the first of two surveys.  After completing the 
WebQuest, you will conduct this same survey question for a second count.  
Will student responses remain the same?

To view a sample pre-WebQuest, first survey pie chart, click 
here.

Use the link below for a copy of the rubric that will be used to score your 
pie chart or other graph.  This rubric may be used as a checklist and a 
guide as you complete your chart or graph.
