MidgeF says, "LOL! I minored in Chemistry"

MidgeF asks, "But, Bernie is this a true WebQuest or a Web Based Lesson?"

SueMR says, "I hope students will actually share their books with these
younger students"

MidgeF says, "that true"

BernieD asks, "Hmmmm.... good question, Midge. What makes you doubt its
WebQuestiness?"

MidgeF says, "It is an "assignment" with a product but no real
curriculum critical thinking question"

MidgeF says, "I like that WebQuestiness word, Bernie"

SueMR says, "It is quite structured"

BernieD says, "I guess I'd say that it depends on the emphasis placed on
the final product."

MidgeF says, "I am trying to define what is an acceptable WebQuest as
opposed to a Web based Lesson"

MidgeF says, "I am team teaching a WebQuest workshop."

BernieD says, "If the focus is just on the factual accuracy of the
element, then it's just a research report. But if the
teacher implementing this really takes seriously the
challenge of making this element-book interesting to
younger kids, then it becomes a creative product...
working within a genre and the constraints that go with
that genre."

SueMR says, "It appears to be a modified webquest"

MidgeF says, "Yes, and taking high school kids to work with younger
students might be a good idea."

MidgeF says, "I can't get Tom Learher tune of the Elements outa my head."
