A Pilgrimage - A Geocaching Activity for Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
Teaching Level:
High School
Students make pilgrims in class. Then the pilgrims are hidden in different locations around the campus. Coordinates are pre-loaded into GPS units and in each cache, students find a clue that they must write down. When they return to class, they must complete a quiz using the clues found in the cache. [What a fun and incredibly creative lesson - a unique and appropriate use of technology. JRS]

Just wanted to echo the previous poster's comment: How do you prevent the other students from seeing the clues?
Great idea! Just a couple of questions. Do you send students out in groups? How do you prevent them from seeing where someone else is finding a clue? Thanks!
The groups all start out at different locations on the campus and unless they cross paths (our school takes up almost 2 city blocks) they won't have the opportunity to share. I monitor as much as I can while walking to the different locations. Usually, they are so busy, they don't think about sharing!
