The Challenge Phase of a Project


The challenge phase of a project  is the most important part. It is the hub on which the project revolves and therefore it should be well structured so that it links well with the introduction, and  all the subsequent  steps in a Webquest. 
I   think that my draft introduction is as it is but not as it should be and that it is temporarily enough to grab the attention of my learners. I feel that with time, through a lot more practice, I shall be satisfied with it. I also think the task I have set for the learners is enough for the S.4 level. It is within the subject matter of their Literature syllabus and at the same time it is not removed from the real world. It is something they live with and experience every day, Leadership and its challenges.
My introduction and task are addressing a topic that is somewhat familiar to the learners. Some of them have been in leadership positions and have experienced its challenges. They have had to make decisions that have affected the people they have led. They have been tempted here and there. Some have fallen prey to the temptations whereas others have tried to withstand them. Others wish to be leaders in future. The task will surely help them to know more about leadership and its challenges, and it will educate them more on how to be better leaders.   
Secondly, the words and graphics used are appealing enough and I feel that my learners attention will definitely be captured. The questions are thought provoking enough to get them thinking and working. It is not an easy task though to come up with attention grabbing words and thought provoking tasks. It is a nice experience.
