Students have the opportunity to learn about the types of information on the internet and how to access it. Because they are trying to solve specific challenges, their search for information should be focused and purposeful.
Challenges are cross-disciplinary.
Teachers should be able to find a challenge that is appropriate for any subject area in each set of challenges. The challenges in later chpaters tend to build on the earlier ones. The challenges are written to enable participation by a wide range of students. Students can respond to the challenges in many different ways and at several levels of sophistication. Teaching suggestions and resources for the entire Stones River Mystery theme will be online for the duration of the Eagle Challenge so that teachers can gather materials and plan ahead for challenges in upcoming chapters.
