WebQuest by Vanessa Góngora Jurado

Hello everyone!

My name is Vanessa Gongora and I have designed an activity using WebQuest based on the topic of recycling. WebQuest is a web-based learning activity that incorporates research, problem solving and internet resources. It is divided into 6 sections: Introduction, Task, Process, Resources, Evaluation and Conclusion.

The learning objective of my activity is to work on previous knowledge related to recycling and introduce some new terms using audio-visual material. These activities are focused on working and improving listening and speaking skills. Students will work in groups of 4’s and will answer some questions about the video they have been watching/listening to. Part of these questions can be considered comprehension questions and the rest “opinion” questions where students give their own ideas and conclusions. After watching 2 videos, one based on “why recycling is important” and “the three R’s –reuse, reduce, recycling”, students will pretend they are attending a summit about recycling and will prepare an oral presentation. They will have to choose from two questions: “How to recycle in schools” and “How do you reduce, reuse and recycle at home?” and present their recommendations to their colleagues.

Do not forget to complete the online survey about Recycling in the Conclusion section.

Happy recycling!
