In each case notes on what extent the roles bring different perspectives to the issue for e.g. business Investor, museum curator, Religious Leader, Human Rights Activist, Environmental Activist, Environment Activist and United States  Senator.  

This activity also looked at how the roles keep group members actively engaged at all times. Last but not least to what extent the group members are mutually dependent on each other. Also we were asked to create group roles for our  web quest.  I created the following group roles and write a brief description on the following roles Cocaine Expert, Marijuana Expert, Tobacco Expert, Alcohol Expert and Heroine Expert other Additional includes Psychologist, Social Worker, Substance abuse researcher, Detoxification Specialist.

We had to Share our roles sending an email to our group. Give the email the subject line: Group roles.  We were also told to comment on other group members.

In my opinion when student interact with web quest they develop more critical and analytical skills. Completing the roles make each group member responsible and accountable for the tasks assign to them in order to make the final work a success.   

Collaboration is a key element in order to get the project complete. Students will decide what to include, exclude, how to arrange the project that will explain or present what aspect.  In order to get a captivating web quest it must be linked to issues or experiences confronting the students.

This is students centered tool that can be utilize in the classroom to produce more independent learners hence raising the educational level of our society. This activity took me some time to complete because I was carefully selecting the different roles.

This activity assisted me acquiring new knowledge about Web quests. Now what are Web Quests really? Basically webquests are inquiry-oriented lesson format in which majority or all the information that learners interact with is based on the web.  The parts of a web quest are as follows introduction scenario, tasks, process, resources, assessment and conclusion.

Some advantages of Web quests it stimulate learners imagination, also it encourages readers to interface with internet based information.  Web quests accommodate students different learning needs whether individually or as a group.  

Some disadvantages of web quest includes sometimes some of the links to information are not functional also Creating Web Quest can be time consuming. Also the content level sometimes can be higher than the students’ level so careful selection is key.

When I evaluated the web quest assign in my opinion my best  two  Web Quests for Grade 3 -4 are as follows “A stitch in time” and “Our Sun Sational Star”and take on the role of the Efficiency Expert . 
Finally I build on my previous knowledge with evaluating websites.

This was a great activity that assisted me with the completion of my assignment two.
