Independent Practice: WebQuest Expectations

• Stay on task. Your job is to collect information for your groupmates. If you don’t do your job, they can’t do theirs, either

• If you have a question, ask your classmates. That’s why I’m giving you so much time to do this

• If the videos don’t work, turn off the WiFi. If they still don’t work, use a textbook and the index to find your topic

• When you’re finished, get the materials you know your group will need to create your anchor chart

Independent Practice: WebQuest/Anchor Chart• Each of you has been assigned a

number

• Each number has a QR code. Scan the QR code and answer the question on your worksheet

• Work together with your groupmates to fill out the entire worksheet

• Together, create an anchor chart that shows the four causes of World War I and one major battle

• If you need inspiration, google “Anchor Charts”
