Templates for
WebQuests
As you begin designing your
webquest, you may want to use a template to gather all of your
information. Pre-made templates will
have the headings and links necessary in storing your information.
On the other hand, since you have perused
many webquests you may just want to design each section on your own. This is up to you.

Using this template, simply
follow these steps:
Have the template open
in front of you
Go to FILE, SAVE AS
Save it to your Desktop. Type if
File: Web page or HTML doc.
Open Microsoft Word as a
new document
Click on the yellow
folder icon to open a document. (The
font etc. may have changed, but you will want to use your own anyway.)
You should now be ready
to work.
When you want to save
(and do it often so you don't lose anything)
Save it to a floppy disk on your Drive A. You will need to name the file. Don't just call it
webquest, be more exact. Eg. Matter in Motion Webquest. Save it as a web page
or HTML document.
From now on all you need to do is click on the
diskette icon to save your work
Remember to click on the
save diskette icon frequently so you will not lose any of your work.
If you decide to design your own:
Open Word
Create new document
Go to Format,
background. You will need to decide on a background, font, color etc.
If you are using Word
2000, go to Format, Theme. Everything
will be done for you when it comes to backgrounds, fonts, etc.
You will want to add appropriate pictures etc. though.
One other thing I want you to do:
As you find pictures, maps, etc. that you want to use in your webquest, when you download them to
your diskette be sure to site your source:
highlight the URL, copy and paste it directly under your picture. You
always want to acknowledge where you found your information.
