Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform.

Using Goose Chase to review Pronouns in Upper Level French

Description: 

Students in French 3/4 had a difficult test coming up. In an effort to review the grammar in a new and different way, I applied for an educational license with the scavenger hunt app, Goose Chase. Students downloaded the app, got into teams electronically and I started the game at my computer. Students were led by clues to locations around the school where I had placed signs. There, students had to figure out a correct answer, take a picture of the correct answer and submit it. They continued on to 14 other locations around the school, each time submitting a photo or audio clue. This served as their grammar review activity for the exam.

Learning Targets: 
Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal. (ISTE 7C)
I can understand the main idea of short and simple texts when the topic is familiar. (NCSSFL-ACTFL Global Can-Do Benchmark)
I can present information on most familiar topics using a series of simple sentences. (NCSSFL-ACTFL Global Can-Do Benchmark)

Student prerequisite skills and knowledge

Students will have spent an entire unit studying this material and will spend this activity reviewing.

How is the concept or procedure explained or demonstrated?

As students work through the Goose Chase, they are working in teams to figure out the answers. We, as a class, were figuring out Goose Chase, as well.

What concepts or procedures are being explained or demonstrated in this lesson object?

Students are reviewing relative and adverbial pronouns the day before a large test.

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

I would like to try Goose Chase again with groups or perhaps pairs, but only using one phone. My kids are bright and a couple groups split up to tackle the work faster. Were they to only have one phone, they’d have to complete all work together. I’d also like to try this app with my French 2 students when they are learning directions and have them follow directions around the building, using this in a truly authentic application.
