Samples
(Part 3):
In a treasure hunt, students
answer a list of about 10 questions on a given topic. There are links
that have information to help the students answer all of the questions.
The last question (often called the Big Question), requires the students
to summarize the information they have learned. Not all treasure
hunts have the students engage in higher level thinking, some merely ask
students to find facts from another Web site. When you design your
own treasure hunt, try to incorporate questions that require the students
to engage in higher level thinking. Look
at the following samples of treasure hunts created by other teachers:
Wetlands
Argentina
Jamestown
Clouds
Matter
Hatchet
Butterflies
Solar
System
Pandas
