PROCESS

SELECT SEVEN FAVORITES

  • Together you take a global look at the 21 candidates. You don't have to discuss together. You only examine the world wonders.

  • After that, each of you write your seven favorites on a separate sheet (download here).

  • When you both are ready with your own list, then compare the two lists.
    Download a new overview (here to download).

Now a new list have be composed. You may use the following indications:

  • Are there constructions on both lists? If that is the case, write them down on the new sheet. Apparently you both find them the best.

How many buildings do you have on the new list? Probably not exactly seven. That would be a too great coincidence. 

  • Are there not enough buildings on the list? Than you have to add some more. Take your own list en discuss which place should be on the definite list.
  • Are there too many? Than you have to discuss which place(s) has to be removed from the favorite list.

PRESENTATION

Now you can make a presentation of your seven favorites. You can choose to make:

  • Seven posters
    For each building you make a separate poster.
    Each poster has at least 2 images of the construction. Don't use images that are too similar. 
    And of course you have to add information concerning each building.
    Also write down why you have chosen this places.
  • A computer presentation
    You do the same as at the posters. Show the information of each place and show several images.
    Write or tell of each construction why you have chosen it.
  • You probably want to know where your teacher will pay attention to. Before you make your posters or computer presentation, take a look at "evaluation", then you get an idea of the criteria your teacher will use to judge your work.

ORGANIZE ELECTIONS 

You organize in the class an election after you have held the presentation.

  • Each student and teacher gets a voting list.
  • Everyone must bring out three votes. No more and no less! Each vote counts equally.
  • After the voting you pick up all the voting notes.
  • On the black board you write the names of the seven buildings from which they can choose.
  • Count all the votes. You tally the votes on the black board.
  • Which building is the most favorite in your class?
  • As an extra component of this webquest you can discuss the outcome of the voting.
