March Madness Scavenger Hunt

The Sweet Sixteen...the Elite Eight...the Big Dance! Yep, March Madness is in full swing!  Did you fill out your bracket yet?  Who do you have in your Final Four?

This is a great time to have your students practice using the search tab in their myON libraries with this scavenger hunt.  Make it fun and interactive while teaching the students how to search for books.
