Your Impressions

WebQuest	Strengths	Weaknesses
John Wilkes Booth	The pictures in this WebQuest are a sufficient size. There are also many resources used to complete the WebQuest. I like the use of color. The color of the background and the font do not seem like they would be a distraction to the reader.	The pictures in this WebQuest do not completely give the reader visualization of what the time was like. Without the links the WebQuest would not have a lot of information.
Landfills	There are a lot of pictures used and the WebQuest is not dull. It contains color and I think this helps keep the reader's attention.	The pictures are very small and seem somewhat irrelevant. There were not any links that gave the reader access to learn more. This WebQuest could have been printed out and given as a worksheet.
Ancient Egypt	This Webquest provides beneficial resources which helps include all of the readers no matter what background knowledge they have of the topics. The readers are even led to use Powerpoint to complete a portion of the WebQuest. This WebQuest also provides eye catching pictures that keeps the reader focused on the task at hand.	Some of the words are colored in different shades of blue. It may be more beneficial to the reader if one of the shades of blue was changed to black. This may catch the reader's eyes better.
Creative Encounters	This WebQuest uses the pictures to involve the reader. Some of the pictures are animated which grasps the readers eyes. There are resources that lead the reader to more information.	The pictures are so small in some of them it is hard to decipher what the picture is. It is also hard to read some of the words because of their colors and the background. The animation of a few of the pictures is so fast it may distract the reader from the task at hand.

My group decided that the best WebQuest is John Wilkes Booth because it allows students to remain on task by not giving them anything too ahead of their level. The pictures provide quick visualization which helps the readers remain on task and interested in the topic. My group also concluded that the worst WebQuest was The Environmental Problems With Landfills because of the lack of focus and the poor quality. We thought that this WebQuest was a little over middle school student's heads. The WebQuest is not thorough enough for student's at this level to follow.
