Literature Study - including webquests, teacher resources, and lesson plans
When evaluating WebQuests, one might use this rubric. Many of these webquests were created by teachers several years ago and the links that they refer their students to may be "dead". The if the basic framework is valuable, it's possible to combine the features of a webquest and find new websites to send the students to gather information, view images, and get background information. Don't dismiss the entire webquest even if it's 10 years old. New links can be found and the webquest can easily be re-written or adapted in some way to make it updated.

Webquest Example - (This webquest would be more effectively used online. It can be "copied and pasted" into a wiki-page so the students can click into the links rather than having to type the URL into the browser.) http://curriculum.new-albany.k12.oh.us/mkerschner/documents/Webquest.pdf
