This 25 question scavenger hunt is always a winner with my 9th grade students although it could be used for grades 6-12. Unlike most internet scavenger hunts, this is truly interactive. Not only do students get practice with search engines and internet research, they are also required to interview people, look through newspapers and magazines, and apply their own reasoning to find the answers. 3 documents are attached: the scavenger hunt, an answer sheet, and an answer key.

I taught 9-12 grade English Language Arts, Writing, Journalism (yearbook, newspaper, and literary journal)in a school with a population of 2500. I have also worked as a CRISS (CReating Independence through Student-owned Strategies) trainer and a 6-Traits writing trainer for the past eight years and worked at the district level with curriculum implementation and design for five years. I am now a writing coach. I created a site that offers free lessons each week. Visit: www.englishteachersfriend.com
