“Stages of working on a webquest”

A webquest in pedagogy is a problematic task with elements of a role-playing game, for the implementation of which information resources of the Internet are used.

A webquest is the most difficult for both students and teachers. The webquest is aimed at developing analytical and creative thinking skills in students; a teacher creating a webquest must have a high level of subject, methodological and infocommunication competence.

In order to clearly understand how to work on a webquest, we will first try to answer the question: “Why do you need to use webquests?”

Conducting project work using network resources has a number of specific advantages, and for teachers who are using the Internet for the first time in the classroom, web quest technology is a relatively easy way to learn how to use the World Wide Web for educational purposes. I will list its main advantages

web quests provide the teacher with a clear model of how to carry out project work;
The model of working with web quests is used by a huge number of teachers in various countries, so you can find many interesting developments on the Internet. You can start by selecting a finished product and using it as is (or perhaps with slight modifications);
There are templates on the Internet that can be very useful for teachers who want to create their own web-quests, various tasks that are suitable for the proposed technology, a lot of methodological advice for teachers on how and where to find useful sites when creating a web-quest, and also a list of search engines and instructions for their use;
The teacher provides a list of websites that students use to complete the project. As a result, they spend less time searching for the necessary information than completing the task;
and finally, perhaps one of the most important reasons why you should use web-quest technology when teaching foreign languages is that many of your students will be happy to work using this technology to improve their language proficiency.

Stages of working on a webquest

The following stages of work on a webquest are distinguished:

1. At the first stage, the teacher carries out preparatory work, introduces the topic, and formulates the problem. Topics are selected so that when working on them, the student deepens his knowledge of the subject being studied or acquires new knowledge. The topics should be interesting and useful for students, so that the student can choose something to his liking and work, recognizing the need to solve the problem at hand. Several students can choose the same topic, the more interesting the discussion of the results will be, since the works can cover the topic from different points of view. Students become familiar with the basic concepts of the chosen topic and materials from similar projects. Roles in the team are distributed: 1-4 people per role. All team members should help each other and teach each other how to use computer programs.

2. At the stage of completing the task, students’ research skills are formed. When searching for answers to questions posed among a large amount of scientific information, critical thinking, the ability to compare and analyze, classify objects and phenomena, and think abstractly develop. Students acquire the skills to transform received information to solve problems. The accumulated experience of consistent actions under the guidance of a teacher will help everyone in organizing their further individual research activities in the global information space.

3. At the stage of formalizing the results of activities, the completed research is comprehended. The work involves selecting the most significant information and presenting it in the form of a web site, html page, slide show, booklet, animation, poster or photo report. At this stage, the role of the teacher as a consultant is very important.

4. Discussion of the results of work on web quests can be held in the form of a conference so that students have the opportunity to show their work, realizing the significance of the work done. The team nominates a person who will defend the project. The teacher may recommend that a student whose contribution to the work is minimal due to some reason (this may be the lack of a computer or Internet access at home, insecure work in HTML or graphic editors, poor logical and analytical thinking) can speak. Such a student, aware of his responsibility to the entire team, will make every effort to study the material, understand the problem, adequately present the project, and thereby receive at least a small increase in his professional competencies. At this stage, such personality traits as responsibility for the work performed, self-criticism, mutual support and the ability to speak in front of an audience are established. At the end of work on the project, after summing up the results, it is important to use material and moral incentives for high results.

Working with webquests can also be offered as homework for students interested in the subject; it can be done in the classroom if there are double lessons. This type of activity gives good results when preparing for the Olympiads, as it broadens one’s horizons and erudition. The actual placement of web quests on the network in the form of websites created by the children themselves can significantly increase the motivation of students to achieve the best educational results. At the end of work on the project, after summing up the results, it is important to use material and moral incentives for high results.

Webquest structure.

Webquests have been used for a long time and have acquired a clear structure.
However, it is not something fixed and is used only as a basis, which can be changed if necessary. You can design the quest according to the level and needs of your students. Typically, a quest is divided into four main sections: Introduction, Assignments, Completion, and Evaluation.
The first stage is Introduction. At this stage, preparatory work is carried out, familiarization with the topic occurs, and a problem is posed.

The Assignment section clearly and precisely explains what students must do while working on the quest. The task should provide motivation, be interesting for students and be tied to a specific life situation. Students are often involved in role-playing according to a given scenario.

Next comes the Execution stage. Students complete a series of assignments and conduct research using predefined web resources. The execution phase involves creating one or more finished products, which students then present at the end of the work.

Stage Evaluation involves self-assessment of the finished product, comparing it with products from other groups. Students not only present their work, but also draw conclusions about what they have learned and what they have achieved. During group work, they also evaluate their participation in the project and their personal progress. The teacher also evaluates the work, analyzes mistakes, and gives advice for future work.

Of course, such a structure may change, become more complicated, sections may have different names and be divided into subsections, but the above steps must be preserved.

Creation of webquests.

Creating a webquest does not require extensive technical knowledge. You can define the following groups of skills required to produce a quest:

Research skills
You must be able to search the Internet and quickly and accurately select resources. It is important to have the skill of working in various search engines and to be able to accurately formulate a question.
Analytical skills
It is also very important to critically evaluate the resources you find. Before giving assignments to students, you need to visit the proposed sites and make sure that they are suitable for completing the assignments and correspond to the level of the students.
Knowledge of a text editor
To combine text, pictures, and web links into a complete document, you need to be able to work with word processors. This can be learned in about 10-15 minutes.
Before you sit down to create a webquest, it is always worth searching the Internet - perhaps someone has already created something similar that might be useful to you, and you do not need to waste time and effort reinventing the wheel.

Strong students who have experience working on the Internet can be asked to create their own quest on a topic that interests them. They should first be introduced to the structure of the quest and, if necessary, provided with a list of useful sites. Knowing that your work can be used as an assignment for other students can be very motivating.

How to create your own WEB-QUEST?

The process of creating a VK is not always linear, but there are certain steps that can be taken to create your own Web-Quest [BJ, Dodge, 2004]: Now on the Internet there are special sites for creating Web-quests, where you can find templates for the Web -Quest and detailed instructions for creating them (an example of the most popular English-language site for creating Web quests is https://questgarden.com/.)

It should be noted that the webquest can be issued both on paper and in electronic format.

Step 1: Decide on a topic.
There are four conditions that the topic of your WebQuest must meet:

A) meet the requirements of state standards for the content of educational programs;

B) contain a task that will contribute to the development of a higher level of student thinking;

C) meaningfully replace or supplement existing materials on the topic of the lesson, the mastery of which you are not completely satisfied with on the part of the students;

D) use the Internet effectively.

Step 2: select a site that has a matrix (template) for creating a webquest.

Step 3: come up with tasks.
First, choose the form in which students will receive the assignment. There are several options:

* In the form of a presentation (for example, PowerPoint - .ppt extension) Place a picture on the slide and write one or two questions. So on each slide you can consider a specific topic.

* In text form (eg Word program - .doc extension). We place information with pictures and questions in the form of formatted text on an A4 or A3 sheet of paper.

* Visual material. It looks like a set of pictures, photographs, cartoons (you can attach it as an archive - .zip extension, since the size of applications is limited).

Step 4: Come up with a grading system.

* The number of points awarded for a particular question.

* What number of points corresponds to what level (for example, 5 points – good).

* If there is no specific answer, then describe how to evaluate an oral story if it is reasoned, supplemented by your own knowledge, or, on the contrary, incomplete and inaccurate.

Step 5: Find Sources of Information
, which students will use to find answers.

Step 6:
Having a rough plan and basic information on the sheet,
start creating a Web-Quest

Quest plot

If you want to wish all family members a Happy New Year and Merry Christmas in an original way, then this quest is just for you. ♦ BEGINNING of the quest: The main idea of the quest is that a letter from the Snow Maiden was found in the mailbox, in which she reports that Santa Claus has been kidnapped and the gifts will not be delivered. She turns to your family for help, as the most courageous and resourceful family. The quest kit contains all the necessary materials for preparation - a letter layout and an envelope for printing. Participants in the quest can be people of any age category. The quest tasks will be of interest to both children, teenagers and parents (adults). In her letter, the Snow Maiden addresses your family members, in which she writes: ♦ Text of the letter: “If you found this letter, it means that Santa Claus still hasn’t arrived to you. The last time he was seen was by the gnomes at the threshold of your house and so I decided to immediately contact you! In general, knowing these places, help us urgently find the old man so that he can finally deliver gifts to everyone: both children and adults, otherwise what would New Year be without Grandpa? Most likely, these searches will be very dangerous, because Grandfather has recently received anonymous threats demanding that he leave the bag of gifts in a secret place. So, be very careful, because you are the only hope! So, as usual, Santa Claus equipped the sleigh with gifts, harnessed the horses and set off, but something happened on the road and the sleigh arrived without him. But Grandfather is not so simple, and even if he was kidnapped, he would find a way to leave a trace or notes by which he could be found... "

The Snow Maiden's letter itself contains the first puzzle of the quest, which the participants will have to solve. After solving the puzzle, will participants find out the name of the cache? in which a secret note from Santa Claus is hidden. This note will begin a fun, exciting New Year's quest for the whole family. Finding such notes and solving one task after another? participants will approach the main cache. ♦ COMPLETION of the quest: After the quest participants find and solve all the secret notes of Grandfather Frost, the final cache will contain another letter in which Santa Claus brings congratulations to the participants who saved the New Year and freed him from the captivity of the kidnapper. In the final cache, in addition to a congratulatory letter, participants will also receive New Year's gifts (surprises) from the quest organizer. Text of the letter: “Well done, brothers! My main hiding place was found. Having found a secret nook, you opened the bag in it. And at the same hour, in response, the Star jumped out of the bag unnoticeably. As soon as she shot up, the New Year's miracle unfolded in the sky. My kidnapper hugged me and gave me all the gifts. And he said that I should quickly distribute them to the people of the world. So I give you a gift, I wish you happiness and joy in the New Year! I am also sincerely grateful to you that you did not take the miracle lightly. They believed in me, didn’t let me down, and saved the New Year for everyone!”

All quest tasks are designed in such a way that, at the request of the organizer, any cards can be removed or their sequence can be changed. This opportunity will allow the organizer to construct his ideal quest using suitable hiding places and tasks.

Quest “In Search of New Year's Treasures”

Unravel the word. There are “strange” words written on the sheets.

The letters in them must be rearranged so that the word ceases to be “strange”.

Kalyo - (Yolka); Rwanya - (January); kashuplo - (cracker); Retev - (Wind); varyan - (January); Ndamarin- (Mandarin);

Levanki - (Valenki); Neguchsorak – (Snow Maiden); nikasnezh - (snowflake); Negs - (Snow); bredak - (December); rose – (frost)

A phrase is specified where each word is “inverted” to its opposite meaning. The players' task is to guess what this phrase is.

Book titles:

Rainy King (Snow Queen)

Zharilko (Morozko)

120 weeks (12 months)

The morning after Easter (The night before Christmas)

Lines from songs:

You will read them a story in fifty seconds (I’ll sing you a song about five minutes)

White, white dew stood over the cable (Blue, blue frost lay on the wires)

The poplar tree died near the park, it dried up near the park (A Christmas tree was born in the forest, it grew in the forest)

Yes, they dragged you; yes, they dragged you from a quiet, sultry place, 9 black goats, uh, 9 black goats - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (And they carry me away, and carry me away, into the ringing snowy distance Three white horses, oh, three white horses - December, and January and February)

The big cypress is hot in the summer (the small Christmas tree is cold in the winter)

The brave little black wolf was sitting on an oak tree (the cowardly little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree)

The rain whispered a poem to him: “Get up, oak tree, come on, come on” (The snowstorm sang a song to her: “Sleep, bye-bye Christmas tree”)

Oh, it's hot, it's hot! Cool it down! Cool him, our camel! (Oh, frost, frost! Don’t freeze me! Don’t freeze me, my horse!)

Station
“Ice flakes, snowflake, snowdrifts”
Game
“Ice flakes, snowflake, snowdrifts”
When they hear the word “ice flakes,” everyone freezes, holding their hands joined together upward. When they hear the word “snowflakes,” everyone starts spinning around themselves. When they hear the word “drifts,” everyone crouches.

Game
“There are Christmas trees”
We decorated the Christmas tree with different toys, and in the forest there are different Christmas trees, wide, low, tall, thin. Now, if I say “high,” raise your hands up. “Low” - squat and lower your arms. “Wide” - make the circle wider.

Game "New Year's Train"

A cheerful children's song is turned on, for example, “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.”
The guys, singing along, move around the tree in one direction, then the direction changes. Game "New Year's Round Dance"
One of the most common and favorite children's New Year's games. Children stand around the Christmas tree, holding hands together. A cheerful children's song is played, for example, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”

Divide the children into two teams. Place a box of Christmas tree decorations next to each team. It is advisable that they are not made of breakable glass.

The fastest team to decorate their tree wins.

The guys stand in a circle and pass each other a New Year's cap. All this time there is music playing. As soon as the sounds subside, we see who has the headdress in their hands. Whoever gets caught tells Santa Claus a poem about winter or sings a song.

Children are divided into two teams. Their task is to help Santa Claus pack gifts. One person runs a relay race with a bag and puts toys and candies out of it, and runs back. The second participant runs along the same route and collects everything back into the bag.

Children collect the picture and run for gifts.
