Comments and Suggestions: Great lesson! This lesson was well designed using the
Zunal webquest and was appropriate for the grade level of your students. All activities
tied directly to the lesson goals and objectives. A nice using of different learning tools and
mediums were used to help students understand and practice the concepts. Although a
communication tool was not included in the webquest, you provided ample opportunities
for the students to work together collaboratively and to ask questions for clarification. If
the students are completing this activity outside the classroom you may consider a way
for the students or their parents to contact you. Overall very well done.
