20. Teacher’s Page Teachers, I hope you find this Webquest to be engaging and educational for your students. I have worked hard to make sure that each person in this Webquest has been equally covered and that the activities the students are asked to complete are on the same level as their peers. I have adapted the process of getting everything done for this magazine into centers which I hope you will find helpful. This could be used in the case that your class doesn’t have a lot of computer access or if your class is already being run with centers involved. Feel free to take the centers out if you please. The rotation schedule is on the next slide. The center rotation is based on having 5 groups of about 4 students per group. Each block is set up into one hour blocks that will be rotated in 30-minute increments. This allows each group to rotate through the different stations and computers. The last 30-minute block on Thursday has also been made a make-up (mu) day. This will be used to complete work that wasn’t finished in the week, due to absences or having to rotate stations. I have also attached the rubric that I will be using with my students to evaluate their work on the magazine. Table of Contents
