Creating
Scavenger Hunts
Scavenger Hunts can be good starting
points to help students practice information seeking skills. But a Scavenger
Hunt can have a focus and go beyond collecting "nuggets" of information.
You can use it to "stake out" the topic, before
engaging in its study , or to reinforce a topic
or person,
you can even use them for assessments. Another great idea is to have
the students
create the questions for the scavenger hunt.
