Score Explanation
Overall Aesthetics (This refers to the Web Quest page itself, not the external resources linked to it.)
Overall visual appeal (0-2)
  1 My first impression of this web quest lead me to think it was related to artists such as singers or movie stars.  I had to read the introduction to understand its real meaning. 
Contains mechanical errors such as no question marks at the beginning of questions (required in Spanish) and one spelling mistake. 
No reference to content standards. 
The overall visual appearance is acceptable. 
Introduction - La introducción
Motivational effectiveness of Introduction (0-2)
  1.5 The quest wants students to investigate about Hispanic artists (painters) and their works, assuming the targeted teenagers want to know more about this art subject. One question requires investigation, and the other requires opinion. 
Cognitive effectiveness of the Introduction
(0-2)
  2 The entire Web Quest is written in Spanish which requires prior knowledge of the target language.  It addresses the task of the work.
Task (The task is the end result of student efforts... not the steps involved in getting there.) - La misión
Cognitive level of the task (0-6)
  6 The task requires for the student to research in the section "El Museo Virtual" and the web, and then formulate an opinion .  This work could be integrated with a History class.  It is acceptable  for students in their third year but it is better for fourth year students.  I the process, the students have to demonstrate their knowledge of written Spanish.

  2 Describes in depth the expectations but it could be confused with the process, however, it helps motive the student.
Process (The process is the step-by-step description of how students will accomplish the task.) -
La investigación
Clarity of Process (0-2)
  2 Gives detailed information about the process and the responsibilities of each student.  Different roles are assigned to students.  A link leading to the form used for the student's composition is not easily found, although the section shows the required content of the composition.

  6 Provides sufficient information to clarify the expectations of each group member. 
Resources (Note: you should evaluate all resources linked to the page, even if they are in sections other than the Resources block. Also note that books, video and other offline resources can and should be used where appropriate.) - El Museo Virtual

Total Score
(0-30)		  28.5 Good example.  I would use this Web Quest for fourth level students unless I am willing to be flexible grading grammar with third level students.  It demostrates a great deal of research from the author.
Note:
1.  Since the information on the Web Quest evaluated is in Spanish, I wrote in Spanish the titles of the different sections on this form, to facilitate understanding.
2.  This Web Quest also include two other sections: conclusion and credits.  Both sections are excellent and provide support and credibility to the work.
