The WebQuest resources have a great educational value, and that is why their use is very interesting and constructive for teaching various subjects at primary level.
The English may be one of these benefited subjects, because of the combination of language learning, and new technologies.
The WebQuest that we have chosen is called "ANIMALS: PETS - FARM – WILD”. It is a platform with activities related to the names of animals, and with simple questions and resources on the net to find the answers.
On the cover page you can see an interactive list of all the steps of the task, and simple explanations about the objectives and process of the activity in Catalan. Due to this fact, we consider it appropriate for the 2nd grade of primary school, because the activities are very simple, and require a very basic domain of the software. The level of English required to perform tasks, is low, because the information research in the proposed web pages has much more interest than the final activity result. However, it requires collaboration between 3 pupils to divide up the information and pictures research of different animals, and also to share the final result with fellow group.
The importance of this activity lies in the fact that it works on important knowledge for the primary school, and more particularly, for the 2nd grade of primary. It enables new learnings in English at an appropriate level for the children to whom we have led the bloc, and also gives the possibility to use ICT resources to do a well done and creative job. In addition, the page is visually attractive to young children, and easy to understand, because the explanations of the process are written in the L1.
