Material Detail

An in-class activity that builds skills in academic referencing (this version is for Harvard) and team work. Small groups compete to find and correctly reference a variety of academic texts.

In addition to providing an engaging introduction to develop skills in referencing, this is a good 'getting to know you' activity that can be used to get a feel for how groups will work together before embarking on group assessment projects. 'Treasure hunts' have been successfully run both in  library spaces and remotely by logging in to the library database in tutorial rooms.

This resource includes a student handout and a teacher's master sheet with answers. The activity can be adapted for your content area by replacing texts with items relevant to your course.  

This will delete the comment from the database. This operation is not reversible. Are you sure you want to do it?
