I think it would be a worksheet or study guide for a test. It’s really cool. I’m 46 am am going to do the work sheet to refresh my memory.

It’s an interesting quiz after a search for facts. It is not a webquest, but more like a scavenger hunt. To be a webquest, it would need to be more involved with essential questions, roles, and an end product that involves some new synthesized learning by the students. This does not call for new learning. Perhaps this could be an intro to a webquest, giving students some background knowledge.

What a wonderful resource! The name would depend on how the teacher adapts and uses it. Thanks for all of the excellent materials you provide for teachers and students, it is much appreciated.

I agree that it can be a worksheet or a quiz, depending on how and when the teacher decides to use it.

Thanks for sharing the quiz. These will definitely help the children to search for and learn more about the topic. Thanks.

I would call it a research guide or worksheet since it is a “search for facts”. It could easily become a webquest by using it as is and then adding one or more critical thinking questions or an assignment to create a product for students to publish with their findings (news article, brochure, slideshow, etc.). Great resources on your website.

I think it is a quiz rather than a webquest.
It does lack the skill of having students draw conclusions or to express their opinions. Students are often lacking in these skills. This is shown often in their lack of ablility to write complete sentences and paragraphs.

I think it could be used as all three depending on the teacher. Good job!

Because your “quiz” focused mostly on rote memory details, it would make a great tool to check students’ thoroughness of pre-assigned reading (on the web, in books, in handouts – whatever). So I guess you could call it a quiz in that sense. However, especially for a topic quiz in 5th to 6th grade, I would hope that questions would be more “thinking” questions and focus on applying the facts to the situation (cause and effect, what might have happened differently, etc.)

I think for it to be a webquest, you would have the specific website where the student would find the answer for the question, instead of a group of websites for the whole assignment.
I wouldn’t call it a quiz. It could be termed an activity or assignment.
