The next time the class meets, they should go outside and perform the “hunt”. 2. Have students go on a “scavenger hunt” with their partner (or group) to find items that exemplify the assigned characteristics. 3. Take approximately 30 minutes the day following the hunt to review and discuss what the students found.
