These notes will be collected. • After compiling your notes, decide on the most important and interesting facts that you will include in your monologue. Also, decide on the myth you will be retelling. Make sure the myth is fairly brief, for your time is limited. Remember, these facts must be in your own words.

15. Teacher Script (Teacher) [Student Page] Teacher Page • The WebQuest model is best suited for learners who can navigate the Web on their own and can read the kinds of material commonly found on the Web. We can stretch the format to reach primary-aged learners, developmental English Language Learners and special populations by creating a facilitated WebQuest, one that requires an adult or older peer to drive things. • Use this page to create a script for that facilitator. The facilitator would print this page out and use it to guide their progress through the WebQuest. • This page will include step by step directions to the facilitator, including: • What to say at each point in the process • What to click on • What questions and misconceptions to anticipate • How long to take at each point • When to direct learners to work away from the computer • To help the facilitator, you might want to include screen dumps of particular screens embedded with the directions of what to do at that point. • This page is linked to the Process segment off of the Teacher Page Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion Credits
