Internet Scavenger Hunt
Once a semester I take my students to the computer lab. We then visit my Web page (see below for URL) where they find the directions for this Internet Scavenger Hunt. Prior to the assignment I give them instructions and guidelines for searching and finding information on the Internet. Their task is then to work in groups to answer the questions I have posted about a topic we are studying (i.e., fitness, motor skills, sports, etc.) in PE class. Unfortunately, due to time and media center constraints I am only able to give all my students a chance to complete this assignment once per semester. For further information, and the lesson for this semester, visit my web page.
