Overall, groups will be evaluated throughout the WebQuest, making cooperation and contribution an important part of your grade.  This and the following areas will be taken into consideration for an individual and group grade.

Individual:
Each group member will be required to write a one to two page summary of the information that was found while researching his or her role.  The summary should include information pertaining to the questions and points to focus that are provided for each web site, as well as any additional information that was found.

Group Creativity:
It is important to see how the group was able to incorporate the information that was found on each of the cultures into making a representative square.  A short summary explaining the designs that make up your quilt and why they were included and what they represent is also needed.

Group Presentation:
This grade will be based on the group's presentation of its square to the class.  Because all groups are viewing the same sites, the presentation is meant for groups to share one or two unique points that they may have found in addition to pointing out key designs in the square and what they represent.  Each group member should be responsible for explaining what is relevant to his or her own role.
Group work is an essential aspect of this web quest.  In order to teach and evaluate students in this area, view this rubric for appropriate guidelines: http://edweb.sdsu.edu/triton/tidepoolunit/Rubrics/collrubric.html

Tell the students that all of their hard work and creative ideas have made this quilt something that any museum would be proud to have.  Reiterate the importance of quilting, and that they have learned many important stories about the African, Amish and Native American cultures.  Encourage them to go home and ask a parent if they have a family quilt.  If so, what's the story behind it?  What type of patterns is it made up of?  Can they recognize any of them from the quilts that were looked at in their research?  Finally, if they do not have a family quilt, encourage them to create their own square and to have the rest of their family do so.
