Lesson Plan
Library
Scavenger Hunt is an activity that requires students to discover resources
in the library and use them to answer simple research questions. Questions
can be easily modified to suit any school library. After exploring the
floor of the library, students move to an online component of the activity
that gives them experience with searching and using Internet resources.
There are many more great ideas at Mrs.
V.'s Online Lessons and Activities.
Assessment
Students are asked in some questions to print their findings and to record their
responses to the scavenger hunt on a separate sheet of paper. Answers will
vary according to student interest and research.
