Research Scavenger Hunt

The Research Scavenger Hunt asks students to extend what they have learned about a current event by locating answers to a series of questions. This lesson plan outlines a process for completing a research scavenger hunt in one class period and identifies different types of questions a teacher may want to focus on in generating their own Research Scavenger Hunt handout. A completed Research Scavenger Hunt handout on Campaign Finance Reform demonstrates how someone might implement this activity in their classroom.
