Mobile International Festival Scavenger Hunt Questions To download a copy go to: http://www.mobileinternationalfestival.org/education.html TEACHERS GUIDE This series of questions has been developed to foster added interactions between students and the cultural booths at the festival. Each booth has answers that were developed for this activity; and they may also have personal experiences to share. The questions cover topics such as: archaeology, geography, culture, geology, history, people, wildlife, food and much more. If you feel that this activity is not age appropriate for your students please go to the MIF web site as we have many different activity sheets that encourage student interactions at the festival. http://www.mobileinternationalfestival.org/education.html Suggestions for using this document: 1. The country listing is alphabetical thus the countries next to each other are very likely on different continents and significantly different from each other. Explore such differences in class before and after the festival. 2. Students can be given one sheet with three countries each. There are a total of 20 pages so you should have enough to assign one page per student or have students on teams of two. Encourage individual as well as team activities at the festival! 3. Have each student take a copy of the MIF event layout. They can learn map reading, learn to plan and navigate the festival and explore the relationships between the countries. 4. Students should take the sheets and ask the question at the cultural booth. There they will be given answers to the questions. These answers will generally be more than simple one word answers. Encourage students to summarize and write the answer down. 5. When back in the classroom: a. Have students turn in a written assignment based on their answers. b. Have a discussion and explore the answers as a class c. Have the students identify and differentiate between geography, culture, history, and other aspects related to the countries and regions of the world, etc. d. Have students discuss the diversity of the world in all its richness expanding on the information received. Encourage the students to think critically about what they know and don’t know. 6. Need to have the answers for this activity? Email [email protected] 7. Invite a guest speaker from one or more of the countries – Email [email protected] 8. Please share any information on how this activity works for you – we look forward to any suggestions for future activities.
