This week as part of our homework we were to look at Internet Scavenger Hunt examples before creating our own. The site that I chose to explore was http://homepage.mac.com/cohora/ext/heart.html, which asked over 15 questions regarding the heart. This was an excellent site to learn from because it incorporated many different types of sites that contained information about the heart. There were sites with simple drawings, medical drawings, videos, movement, sound, and lots of color. The lesson focused not only on the workings of the heart but also how and why to keep the heart healthy. My favorite part of the scavenger hunt was the requirement at the end to create a crossword puzzle of the heart and circulatory system. It gave specific directions on how to create the crossword. I am excited to create my own crossword to use with my students in the area of job searches and resumes.
After viewing this lesson, I created my own Internet scavenger hunt that I called Resume Ready which has the students search for basic answers to questions such as "What is a resume?" Following each question there is a link with either an article, video, or presentation to view in order to answer that question. I will be trying it out tomorrow with my Basic Communications 3&4 class.

I hope that you blog about the scavenger hunt experience with your Communications students, and I'm glad that the hunt fit into your classroom plans.
Is that resume, or resume? Anywho, as I have many of your students, I can appreciate a lesson on resumes for the wee ones, as most of them will need the job finding skills after HS.
Nice work on the blog Cheryl. I also found that the scavenger hunt was interesting and challenging to create. I would like to hear how it turns out when you try it with the students. I plan to try one out on my students Monday.
See ya.
