1. It is important that you included many examples of stop animation clips around your web quest to teach the students about what a stop-animation is visually and conceptually. There are obvious formatting problems that I know you are working on, but I like the reasonable amount of reading that you use to explain the process and state the guidelines.
2. The creation of any animation involves critical thinking but I can see how students could get away with not thinking so creatively and still ending up with an animation that fits the criteria of the assignment having learned the process effectively; but this also means that anyone is capable of learning the exercise.
3. Your rubric is very clear in describing what is expected from each student. I might include point values for each column to make it even clearer.
4. The technologies you utilize for your web quest are currently iMovie (soon to be changed to Moviemaker according to what the students have access to, I assume) and YouTube. Your instructions for iMovie were, unfortunately, very good even though they have to be changed.
5. Give your students an opportunity to watch each others' animation and possible have a group/class critique on them to fulfill the need for student to student interaction in the class.

Great Idea!

1. The design of your web quest is very well themed to the topic of your assignment. I think the images themselves apply pretty well to the age group being somewhat cartoonish and representational. The writing is also age appropriate and easy to follow but at the same time, there is a lot to read between all of the text in each tab and the links to different websites. Maybe this isn't a problem, but I, personally as a seventh grade student, would probably just scroll past most of it seeing how much there is.
2. I believe the storybook project definitely supports creative thinking and the research part of the assignment is essential to the creation of the storybook. The paper bag afterlife essentials project is very interesting and has educational value, but I feel that its value belongs more to a social studies class than an art assignment.
3. The rubric does not clearly define the value of each aspect of the web quest but I know you are currently in the process of changing that to make it clearer and more applicable to the goals of the web quest.
4. You do use Web2.0 technology in the submission of your students' work and you very clearly teach them how to use it with the screenshot images.
5. Student interaction with others is included in the discussion after the work is submitted during class in person.

Good Work!
