Treasure hunt, a great idea!

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share with you a very useful tool I found, Treasure Hunts. It's an activity designed to help students be more confident with their searches through internet, and I think it can be especially useful with upper primary students, because they need to have a pretty good level of English in order to participate.
In a Treasure Hunt, we, as teachers, have to think of a subject that will be of interest to our students. I thought we could do one on sharks and other dangers on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Our next step is to make a series of questions, and students are supposed to find the answers on the internet, but not blindly! We will provide some links for them, so they know where to look for the answers, but still, they have to navigate through those webpages in order to get the right answer. In the end, we have to make a final BIG QUESTION that we think will arouse their interest and sum up what we've been studying. Have fun in your treasure hunt!
