A
Class-Created Scavenger Hunt
You all know some
obscure fact that no one in the class is likely to know off the top of
their heads. Let's take advantage of that arcane knowledge as we practice
our searching skills.
- Working in pairs,
come up with a little-known nugget of information that can be communicated
as the answer to a simple question. For example: "What recently
happened to the former mayor of Waterbury, Connecticut?" or "What
is the dominant language spoken on Zanzibar?".
- Search the web
using the Four
Nets for Better Searching and the Specialized
Search Engines page and make sure that the answer to your question
is findable.
- Write your question
on the index card provided and hand it in to your instructor. S/he will
post the questions for all to see.
- When the starting
gun is fired, see how many of your classmates' questions you can find
the answer to.
