Idea on Making a Civil War Scavenger Hunt
"Students used Grolier's Multimedia Encyclopedia 98 to research several questions about the civil war. This lesson's primary goal was to teach students how to research a topic with a keyword search using a multimedia encyclopedia. Students wrote their information on a handout, and after finishing the questions typed their answers in a ClarisWorks document. Finally, they inserted an appropriate picture from the CD-ROM encyclopedia by their answers."
