This document provides instructions for a WebQuest on Spanish Renaissance poetry for 11th grade Spanish students. Students can take on the role of either a university student or headmaster. As a student, they will learn about two prominent poets and universities, and compose their own poem. As a headmaster, they will evaluate students' poems using their knowledge of Renaissance poetry. The goal is for students to gain experience with Spanish literature from the Golden Age through reading, writing, and evaluation activities.

19. Teacher Script (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Resources Credits Teacher Page I would like to have either a few teacher’s assistants or willing and available parents who would be willing to monitor and work with the students to make sure they are making adequate use of the labs and progressing as the week goes on. Friday before : Introduce the class to the WebQuest projects. Announce that class will be meeting in the computer lab on Monday. Monday : Students will begin the WebQuest. After 20 minutes, the teacher’s assistants and/or parents will ask them to pick which role they’d like to take. Those choosing the student role will remain in the lab. Those choosing the headmaster role will be escorted to a second computer lab. Tuesday & Wednesday : Research/reading days. There will be ‘mark’ points that they should meet. Thursday : Students will compose their poems. As the teacher, I will be in the computer lab with the headmasters. I will be guiding them on what to look for in the poems, proper evaluation techniques, and how to use the provided rubric. Friday : the teacher’s assistants and/or parents will collect the poems and distribute them equally to the “headmasters.” In an isolated and quiet room, the “headmasters” will use their rubric to grade the poems. They will have the entire class period to finish this task. Once they finish grading, they will resubmit the poems to the teacher’s assistants and/or parents, who will return them to me. Weekend : I will give each of the poems a final glance-over during the weekend. I will also grade all the participants over the weekend. Monday after : I will return grade evaluation forms and/or poems. Teacher Script Conclusion Process: Student Process: Headmaster Evaluation: Student Evaluation: Headmaster
