Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday when I was googling to find any article about CLILs I found that:

http://edutec.rediris.es/Revelec2/Revelec16/PDF/Edutec_n16-Adell.pdf

The topic is Scavenger Hunt o Treasure Hunt, and apparently it’s a common methodology that allows acquiring knowledge and improving new technologies skills.

Luzon (2001) claimed three strengths of this method:

• -          Promotes the acquirement of knowledge.
• -          Improves the reading.
• -          Develops skills on search.

To use this method these are the steps. First of all, choose a topic and write didactic objectives, prepare the paper with the material, in the paper we should divide the information in four parts: introduction, questions, resources and “The Big Question”.

The third step is to make the groups, mixing all kind of students and at the end solve the case.

Some advices when you prepare this activity:

• -          We are preparing question to think, we are not interested in copy-paste answers.
• -          We give the links to the students and we give limited time.
• -          And it is essential explain how are we going to evaluate this activity.
