1. Does the visual design convey a theme; text is visually readable; writing is clear, succinct, and age appropriate? - I think your group did a great job of the design aspect, if I was a student I would be excited to get started once I saw the website. The only thing I would be careful with is the distribution of the Egyptian "jobs" to the students, cause I would be pretty upset if I couldn't be a Pharaoh, just sayin haha. 2. Does the task and process facilitate critical and creative thinking throughout the lesson? - There is critical and creative thinking, the only issue that I can think of is that it will be tough to have the bag making last longer than a day. Especially with 7th graders, it will be difficult to drag that out because they seem to try to finish a project and not really take their time on it. You could incorporate more activities involving the hyrogliphics, or have them look into egyptian art and have them create something that they would have used with the "job" they have been given. 3. Are the rubrics clear and relate to goals of the webquest? - Yes - Is there any grading based on the visual aspect of their artworks? I think that a child that works hard and creates a nice piece should get more credit for their artwork than a child that doesnt try to involve any sort of imagination in their work. 4. Does the webquest use 2.0 technologies for clearly articulated art learning goals? - yes, they used snapfish to upload their images and were clear in the how to steps of uploading their image. nice work. 5. Does this webquest include a way for students to interact with others and the student created content? - Not so much on the webquest, but their activities that they will be doing in class involve a lot of interaction with their peers, so this is just as good as having it on the internet.
1. Does the visual design convey a theme; text is visually reading; writing is clear, succinct and age appropriate? - I think that all of the writing that you have on your page is well written and age appropriate. I might add a little more detail in the Task section of the webquest, describing the idea of a theme in art, and what a theme means just to make sure everyone is on the same page. Other than that what you have so far looked like the makings of a successful webquest. 2. Does the task and process facilitate critical and creative thinking throughout the lesson? - Yes, I think that the children will enjoy creating a theme based "exhibit" of artwork they are interested in as well as creating their own artwork to fit into the theme. I really like the idea of having them create their own image based on the theme that they have chosen. This will spark their creativity and really make them understand their theme better than if they just put a few images together that they liked or that looked similar. 3. Are the rubrics clearand relate to goals of the webquest? - N/A rubric needed 4. Does this webquest use 2.0 technologies for clearly articulated art learning goals? - you can doooo iiiittttt 5. Does this webquest include a way for students to interact with others and the student created content? - Pnyxe forum?
