The instructor will use various multimedia methods for the instructional unit on The Giver. Visuals can enhance a lesson. The lesson will begin with a PowerPoint presentation to introduce the WebQuest. Students will enter the website through an image of the book cover. Students will also receive printed handouts of the instruction. The students and teachers' objectives will appear in the printed material. The WebQuest is self-explanatory. The introduction and task provide a systematic guideline of the procedures. The instructor will need access to a projector or a large monitor for viewing with the entire class. Students and teachers will need computer and Internet connection throughout the lessons on the unit.

 

Students will keep a journal and record all the information they find from interviewing the characters. Students will discuss what it means to have a perfect society. A digital photograph, taken in New Zealand, will be used for the discussion. Students will relate to the photograph and Jonas' reasons for leaving the community.

 

An online feedback form will be available for students to express how they feel about working with a WebQuest, The Giver and working in teams.
