Nobody told me what to do.
That’s a really big problem for me.
It would be helpful to know what you knew.
You can work in a group with me.
Will we find a Gooloo?
This task will require some really smart minds.
Hopefully you will succeed with the very best kinds.
We need to find out, what really can be.
So do some research, it will be enlightening you see.
Read about all three jobs, zoologist, herpetologist, and ornithologist. You
need to be familiar with all the information to make an informed decision.
Your final report needs to include information about how all three creatures
are similar. Your final thought should let us know where you think the
dentist has gone. Take a position and defend it using the information from
your group. Access most of your information from the links in the WebQuest.
You may use up to two printed texts. Use your prior knowledge of technology
to locate, compile and effectively distribute your pertinent information.
Don't forget to discuss information with your partners. This should allow
you to expand your vocabulary base and include new words you will be find.
You can help yourself with these words by using your context clues, word
analysis, and various resources like the dictionary. Include three new
words with your final report, tell what you thought it meant in the text,
what the word actually means (dictionary might be helpful here) and use it in
a new sentence. While compiling your final reports, remember to identify and
summarize key points of your research, retell information, and provide
factual information. Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts on the
WebQuest. How did it compare to using search engines on the internet or
print resources? The conventions of the English language should be
evident. After writing your report, even though you think it is great, revise
it, let your partners hear it, and provide constructive feedback to each
other. Consider the feedback as you make revisions.
