Did we find it?

Use your knowledge of history, geography and the resources below or any you feel are appropriate to uncover the answers to the clues of the buried treasure hunt.

1. Select a crew of 3 treasure hunters and name the ship you will be using to circumnavigate the globe to find “The Lost Treasure of Captain Kidd”.

Navigator – responsible for labeling and tracing the journey on the TREASURE MAPS.Draw a compass rose on maps to aid you in your journey.

Linguist – responsible for recording and spelling all the answers correctly for the CLUES.

                    Digger – responsible for determining the keyword(s) in the    
                   clues and locating the information in the resources. The other 
                   treasure hunters on the crew can assist the Digger. Remember 
                        three heads are better than one!

   2.   Read each clue carefully. If you do not know the answer, determine 
         and circle the keyword(s) to be used to find the information in the 
         resource (Digger).  Teacher should explain how to determine keyword.

   3.   Choose the appropriate resource that you think will answer the clue. If 
          you do not find it in that resource, choose another resource.  
               The teacher should model how to locate questions #1-3 using the atlases and 
          us-history.com.

   4.    Remember that SPELLING and NEATNESS counts. If an answer is not
          spelled correctly you will not receive the final clue (Linguist). Review strategies for 
          correct spelling.

   5.   On the treasure maps provided (United States and the World) place an 
         X on each location, label it with its place name, and trace your journey 
         before you move on to the next clue. Remember that SPELLING and 
         NEATNESS counts (Navigator). Teacher models labeling and tracing journey on maps for 
         questions 1-3.
