• Tis the Season...

• The holiday season is celebrated in different ways all around the world through traditions, games, music and foods. In the classroom, students may research the origins of these holidays by using multimedia encyclopedias, books, and the Internet. As they explore cultural diversity through assignments like this, they can also sharpen their research skills.

  A good way students can practice refining their Internet research skills is through the use of a teacher created scavenger hunt. Practice your research skills by working on this seasonal scavenger hunt. Links are provided as possible leads, as well as, search tool links.
