"I think it's wrong, and I
don't think the quality of any person should be judged
by a test." - Tim Seguin, WHS Class of 2008
You've
found the adult page! If you're under 18, please
click here. If you're over
18 (or just curious), this page is intended to give you
a quick summary of and rationale for this Webquest.
Introduction - This is where
students will find a brief rationale for the site. The
primary reason for the creation of this Webquest is that
I have not been able to find any clear, comprehensive,
and easily navigable WASL information resources collected
especially for students. I hope this site begins
to fill this gap.
Task -
This page outlines the process for the students. The
only equipment required for the completion of this task
is a networked computer with Internet access, and a printer
if you care to have hard copies of any of the documents.
Process - These four pages
walk the student through the essential questions of the
Webquest, and contain numerous embedded links to a variety
of resources.
Evaluation -
This is really intended as a self-evaluation, but teachers
could use it as a starting point for class discussions
if so desired. One
thing's for sure: students will have strong opinions on
this topic! In time, I'd like to work up a little
quiz to go along with this project. Care to help
me do that?
Conclusion -
The emphasis here is that students should arm themselves
with as much information as possible. All
too often we throw assessments at kids--particularly
state-mandated assessments--without providing any rationale,
context, or purpose. In this sense, this Webquest
is designed to help adults as well as students.
References - These are by
no means all of the WASL resources out there--just the
most accessible and/or comprehensive. Remind yourself
and your students that the WASL and graduation requirement
rules are currently undergoing changes, so you'll have
to check back for updates.
Credits - These are the people
that helped me do this.
If you have any questions,
have anything to add, or identify any errors please email
me and let me know. Thanks for visiting.
