This statement was made by a student today! I used a scavenger hunt to test my 5th grade students on research skills. We have been reviewing databases, online catalog, and reference books as sources for factual information. The "test" was a four question scavenger hunt asking them to choose an appropriate digital or physical resource and find an answer to a question or a useful title (of a book or article for further research).
Usually, I hear complaints about "work" students are asked to do, but with each of my classes this week, I have seen teamwork and excitement! The activity is helping me to see where the gaps are and what I need to remediate with research skills. The students are learning there is more than one way to find information. Except for one question, there are 2 or more possibilities for students to choose from. Today they even surprised ME by what they were able to find! Link to document coming soon!
