On this page you should clearly and directly describe what the students are to accomplish or produce from the WebQuest. The task might be a:

  • problem or mystery to be solved;
  • position to be formulated and defended;
  • product to be designed;
  • complexity to be analyzed;
  • personal insight to be articulated;
  • summary to be created;
  • persuasive message or journalistic account to be crafted;
  • a creative work, or
  • anything that requires the learners to process and transform the information they've gathered.

If the task requires students to use a specific tool to complete the task, include it here (e.g., blog, animation, desktop publishing software, etc.).

The task is not the steps students will follow. You will describe what students are to do, step-by-step, in the Process.
