In this unit you will be in contact with Webquests methodology, which are

activities that involve the use of Internet, as well as, support to different disciplines. It

was created by Bernie Dodge in 1995, at San Diego State University, who defines

Webquests as “an inquiry- orientated activity in which most or all information that

learners interact with comes from research on the Web”(Dodge, 1995). Since then

this methodology of learning has been spread out around the world.

The WebQuests can be applied to English teaching language in order to

promote a collaborative learning by means of a guided exploration of internet

resources. As a methodology, all webquests have six essential basic instructions to

follow in the activity´s development: Introduction, task, process, Information,

Resources and Evaluation. Exploring the methodology of a Webquest, specially to

teach a language. In fact, it could take advantages from the use of technology in

several important ways. When it is used correctly, it can help teachers and students

to have a collaborative work. It enables students to interact directly with the context,

as well as, make them informed from different perspectives. Such perspecives are

mediated by the instructions‟ process in a context in which students can take

advantages from learning as a form of social interaction.

The purpose of the our theme focus on: “The New Seven Wonders of the

World”. In this sense, the main intention is that our students can recognize that

learning a language allows us to have access from several culture around the world

and at the same time we can incorporate to our culture other relevant subjects and

aspects.

This pretentious aim can be achieved by means of a selection of a range

cultural texts to be explored in English classes. Finally it may be reminded to all of us

that we do not really have to travel anywhere to experience knowledge, due to the

fact that we can learn about the diversity of the world's cultures surfing on the Web.

This assignment can be adapted to any kind of learning activities in order to fit in our

students individual needs.

The time limit may be extended or shortened based on the grade and the level

of your class. This web quest is designed for students in 8th grade. You can find

more example at: http://webquest.org/search/index.php.

4

Before doing this Webquest try to check if you students have digital literacy

skills to handle with technology. In under that we divided this pedagogical material in

two parts one to deal with this and a second one to the application of webquest itself.

There are teachers’ tips to help you handle with this material.

5

Dear Student:

The activities, in this unit, have been especially developed to help you with the

use of new technologies available at public schools, such as the use of electronic

The Internet is a vast network that connects many independent networks

spanning over 170 countries in the World. It links computers of many different types,

sizes, and operating systems, and, of course, the many people of those countries

that use the Internet to communicate.

WHAT CAN I DO ON THE INTERNET?

The Internet Protocol makes it possible for you to communicate in various

ways, find things that interest you, and exchange information and files. The most

common things you can do are:

Get information on almost any subject by searching the web. It takes some skill to

search efficiently, and since anyone can publish just about anything, there is lots

of misinformation on the web, too. You need to develop some skill in evaluating

the accuracy and reliability of the information you find.

Send and receive email or chat or exchange messages with people all over the

world. Almost as fast as the telephone, there is never a busy signal, and you

never play phone tag.

Join discussion groups about a common subject with message boards,

Newsgroups and email discussion lists.

Get or exchange software and files with the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Publish your own material on the web in blogs, message boards, or your own web

pages. http://www.walthowe.com/navnet/faq/internet.html - acessado em 16/04/2010

Now, you are going to read some texts about the New seven wonders of the

world.

Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China was built mainly to protect the Chinese Empire from

northern invaders. The first sections were built in the Seventh Century BC when

China was still divided into many small states. The construction of the Great Wall

continued until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty (1644) and length was then over 6,

000 kilometers. Over the dynasties the Great Wall was eroded, built, rebuilt and

extended many times. The Great Wall is not just a wall. Other defensive works such

as forts passes and beacon towers were built along the Wall to house auxiliary

soldiers, store grain and weapons, and transmit military information.

Today the world has completely changed and a few sections of the Great Wall

have become some of the greatest tourist attractions in the world. The longest wall in

the world, it is an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Its winding path

over rugged country and steep mountains takes in some great scenery. The Great

Wall is the building project with the longest duration and greatest cost in human lives,

17

blood, sweat and tears. It deserves its place among "the New Seven Wonders of the

World" and the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in China.

Described by the UNESCO as “one of the most precious cultural properties of

man‟s cultural heritage”, Petra is an archeological site on the slope of Mount Hor. It is

one of the new wonders of the world and is famous for its rock-cut architecture.

This site was kept hidden until 1812 when it was discovered by a Swiss

explorer. It was said to have been prepared by God for the Jewish people. Petra

once flourished under the Roman empire but a rapid decline began with the Arabian

trade being taken elsewhere. Then an earthquake caused a great deal of destruction.

Statue of Christ the Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer is a statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The

statue is 120 ft tall and has a weight of 635 tones. It is now a part of the new Seven

Wonders of the World. It is located in the Corcovado Mountain which is at a peak of

20

700 meters i.e. 2, 300 feet in the Tujuca forest National Park overlooking the city. The

statue is made of concrete and soapstone. As a symbol of Christianity, it has become

an important icon of Brazil, with Jesus Christ appearing to open his arms wide to

embrace the entire city below.

It was in 1850‟s when for the first time it was suggested to make the statue of

Christ on the top of Corcovado by a catholic priest called Pedro Maria Boss. The

request of the finance was sent to Princess Isabel to build this huge religious

mountain. Initially, the idea was not thought to be a very good one. It was only in

1921, when a need and a proposal of a large landmark were thought about and

finally the statue was made by the catholic Circle of Rio.

During this time, in order to gain more publicity, a group organized an event for

a week where donations were taken from the public and signatures were taken for

those who were in favor of the making of the statue. Most of the donations came from

the Brazilian Catholics. A lot of suggestions were given; some suggest that the cross

of the Christ should be represented along with Christ, or an idol of Jesus with a globe

in his hands. But finally, a statue of Jesus with open arms was chosen. Construction

of this religious symbol took five years to complete, beginning in 1926 and ending in

1931. The brilliance of its engineers was revealed when it was struck by lightning in

February of 2008 during an electrical storm. Several trees were felled by that storm,

but the statue was left unscathed, owing to the fact that it was made with a top layer

of soapstone, which is a good insulator.

Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu in Peru, which means „Old Peak, ” is one of the most enigmatic

ancient sites in the world. According to legend, Machu Picchu was long ago

considered to be a sacred place. The credit for the creation of the extraordinary city

goes to the Inca people who have erected many stone structures and turned the

place into a work of art.

22

Two thousand feet above the Urubamba river, these ruins consist of baths,

temples, palaces, and about 150 houses, all very well preserved. These gray granite

structures, some of which weigh more than 50 tons, are so perfectly sculpted that

they are nothing less than works of architectural genius. They were rediscovered by a

Yale archaeologist in 1911. The ethereal beauty, workmanship, and history of the

place attracts millions of tourists each year.

Chichén Itzá

Chichén Itzá, most important city of the Maya peoples, now an archaeological

site, 29 km (18 mi) southwest of Valladolid, Mexico, in the northern part of the

Yucatán Peninsula. The name, meaning “Mouth of the Wells of Itzá, ” is derived from

the Itzá tribe of Maya Native Americans that formerly occupied it and from the two

natural wells that supplied the water; the religious and cultural life of the city was

centered on city with those wells. Chichén Itzá was founded early in the 6th century

ad and abandoned about the year 670. Rebuilt some 300 years later, when the Itzá

returned to the region, it became the most important city of northern Yucatán and a

center of Maya culture. The architecture of this period shows Toltec influence, but it is

unclear (how that influence gained hold in Chichen Itzá. The city finally fell in around

1200. Subsequently, the Itzá appear to have been a part of an alliance in the

Postclassic center of Mayapán, which itself collapsed in the century before the

Spanish conquest.

Colosseum, largest and most famous ancient Roman amphitheater. The

emperor Vespasian, who ruled Rome from ad 69 to 79, began construction of the

city‟s Colosseum and his son, the Roman emperor Titus, dedicated it in ad 80. The

Colosseum was completed by Vespasian‟s younger son, Domitian, who succeeded

Titus as emperor in 81. The structure was originally called the Flavian Amphitheater.

Modifications and restorations necessitated by fires and earthquakes were made to

the Colosseum until the early 6th century. In succeeding centuries the Colosseum

suffered from neglect, earthquakes, and damage done by builders. Still, slightly more

than one-third of the outer arcades, comprising a number of the arches on the north

25

side, remain standing. The inner skeleton, which supported the cavea (seating

space), is also substantially intact. All marble, stucco, and metal decorations,

however, are gone.

Taj Mahalt://www.w-world.com/search/l

The Taj Mahal in India is one of the wonders of the world and is one of the

most beautiful mausoleums constructed by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, in

memory of his favorite queen, Mumtaz Mahal. Located in Agra, white marble was

used in the construction of this symbol of love, and Taj Mahal considered to be the

pinnacle of Mughal architecture..

As the story goes, the emperor was grief-stricken when he lost his beloved

third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It took thousands of craftsmen and artisans, and about

twenty years to construct it. The masons, stone cutters, carvers, inlayers,

calligraphers, painters, and others were brought from throughout the entire empire as

well as from Iran and Central Asia. Semi-precious stones were used for inlay

ornamentation. It later became the mausoleum of Shah Jahan too. This is a huge

tourist attraction with one to two million tourists visiting it every year.

ANEXOS

Professor (a) este material foi produzido para compor uma unidade didática que

está divida em duas partes. Uma para desenvolver habilidades de leitura e

letramento eletrônico dos alunos e uma segunda que apresenta uma Webquest. A

intenção é direcioná-las aos alunos da 8ª série do ensino fundamental.

Professor(a) para dar início a esta aula:

a) Faça um “brainstorming” do uso do computador e a importância desta ferramenta

no mundo atual, com a intenção de trazer para a sala de aula o conhecimento

prévio do aluno em relação as ferramentas tecnológicas.

b) Faça uma sondagem para identificar quais são os estágios de letramento

eletrônico da classe.

c) Ao explorar as estratégias de leitura, peça-lhes para que grifem as palavras

cognatas, para facilitar o entendimento do texto.

d)Assista o Vídeo educacional "Navegar é preciso”

Available in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFI7zAgrDN0

Professor(a)

a)Comente da importância das imagens e suas significações.

b)Deixe que os alunos observem o texto criptografado, e os símbolos ao lado, e

estimule para que façam comentários a respeito dos mesmos.

c)Exiba o texto e as imagens na TV multimídia.

Antes de iniciar esta atividade sugere-se que o professor discuta o assunto com os

alunos.Estimule-os para comentarem o que sabem a respeito dessas maravilhas.

Após realizar esse momento prévio de ativação de conhecimentos, apresente fotos

e vídeos usando a TV Multimídia para motivação e reconhecimento das Sete

Maravilhas do Mundo Moderno.

PROCEDIMENTOS:

1) Os alunos devem receber o material impresso com todos os textos referentes a

unidade didática onde farão a leitura inicial bem com as atividades afim de entender

o assunto a ser pesquisado.

2) Para a leitura de cada texto apresentado, utilize a estratégia de leitura skimming,

para o entendimento geral do texto.

3) Após este momento estimule os alunos a fazer uma leitura mais detalhada,

scanning, para localizar e responder as atividades referentes a cada texto.

4) Durante a leitura, instigue o reconhecimento de cognatos e palavras-chave.

Apesar de conter algumas palavras desconhecidas, incentive o aluno a deduzir o

significado pelo contexto, se necessário use o dicionário para checá-las.

5) Sugere-se também: Apreciação dos vídeos_TV Multimidia (Os mesmos deverão

ser trabalhados juntamente com os textos sobre cada maravilha).

Professor(a)

As webquests, não precisam estar essencialmente contidas em web sites, nem

serem trabalhadas exclusivamente no laboratório de informática. Embora o princípio

das webquests seja a utilização da web como ferramenta para a execução das

atividades, o professor poderá trabalhar todo o encaminhamento em PowerPoint, e

levar para sala de aula e utilizá-la na TV Multimídia. Somente encaminhe os alunos

ao laboratório de informática para a realização das pesquisas citadas em sala de

aula.

PROCEDIMENTOS:

a) O professor precisa inicialmente explicar aos alunos o conceito de uma webquest

(“atividade de pesquisa orientada em que algumas ou todas as informações que os

alunos interagem, provém de recursos da Internet”), e sua respectiva dinâmica de

trabalho, desenvolvendo um trabalho de equipe, de forma colaborativa, pelos alunos

que estão compartilhando o mesmo assunto. b) No Laboratório de Informática, os

alunos devem seguir as instruções da webquest para desenvolver as atividades:

1º - discutir com os alunos sobre os objetivos da pesquisa e pedir que eles

registrem no editor de textos e salvem o arquivo na pasta adequada na área de

trabalho do computador.

2º - desenvolver com os alunos as atividades propostas na webquest, orientar que

sigam as instruções contidas na etapa “Processo” da webquest. Promover uma

discussão sobre as informações lidas nos textos propostos para as atividades de

leitura.

3º- Propor aos alunos, elaboração de slides para uma apresentação em

PowerPoint com o objetivo de realizar um seminário para socializar as descobertas

e as informações sobre a maravilha estuda por eles.

Professor(a), é importante levá-los a acessar os links selecionados para cada

grupo, conforme as instruções para as tarefas da aula.

A avaliação deverá ser realizada pelo professor ao longo de todo o processo de

desenvolvimento das atividades. Você deverá avaliar ainda o trabalho colaborativo

e cooperativo dos alunos nas atividades e no momento de socialização dos

conhecimentos para os colegas.

É importante alertá-los que o grupo todo será avaliado.
