In this activity, students will develop an appreciation for the diversity of learning styles, talents, and strengths present in their class. One way to help middle school students succeed is to help them set reasonable, yet challenging, goals. Goals that are too easy are often not taken seriously. Goals that are too hard are often abandoned.
Students do better when they appreciate their own unique learning styles and strengths.
WHAT TO DO Distribute copies of the scavenger hunt to each student. Have students read the list. There will be a prize for the first, accurate list completed. Students circulate around the room trying to get signatures. As the lists are completed, have the students put their names on the papers and return them to you.
