North Carolina activity - Students use the links provided to answer questions about North Carolina. If they answer correctly the letters they transfer will spell a phrase about N.C. Put the North Carolina Day Links document in a shared folder so they all have access. Each question corresponds to the question on their answer sheet and is a hyperlink to the website where they will find the answer (not always on the first page). There are 2 documents with student questions. They have the same questions and answers, but the letters transferred to the puzzle will spell 2 different phrases. These should be duplicated and given to students: I like calling NC home and Heres to the old north state (give them one or the other, not both). [|NC Day - Here's to the old north state.doc] [|NC Day - I like calling NC home.doc] [|North Carolina Day Links.doc] Feel free to change the "@Heritage" part of the titles.
