TREASURE HUNT ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB
TREASURE HUNT ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB We will divide our group of six people into dyad, and we will need to use three computers hooked up to the internet and a printer to share. We will be playing this game for several days, so settle in to have some FUN!
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING.
We will gather during the last fifteen minutes of our time together each day to process as we have done in our other work together.
There will be extra points awarded to dyads who give helpful CLUES to other teams who are stuck! Two points per helpful clue per dyad.
If everyone is able to find seventy percent or more of the treasures, we will have a special treat day.
Extra points will be awarded to those who exhibit good sportsmanship during the hunt. Two points per day per dyad are possible.
There will be ice cream on treat day if all dyads are awarded at least ten points.
These are the treasures you are to find. Print out pictures of them when you find them. Print out the instructions, too, and check each treasure off as you find it.
