o State requirements to be a president
3. Determine how you want students to proceed through the QR
code hunt and what they are to do with the information or
what they are to do at each clue. Describe your method here:
Students will get into groups of 3, one person will use the mobile
device while they all work together to come up with the answers

to the questions, they may use whatever sources they have

(books, notes, internet, etc.)
The students will start in the classroom with the first code which
will lead them to different codes that ask different questions
around the classroom/school
When they have read the question and come up with the answer
they will record it in a written or typed form, they can write it
down or they may create a document or chart on an electronic
device, as long as it is accessible to the teacher for
grading/observation
At each clue the students will need to read each clue and find the
answer to the question by whatever means possible, once they
have answered the question they are to move on to the next clue
until all questions are answered and they are to return back to
the classroom with their answers for the teacher to see
4. Write at least 10 questions or prompts (see table below):
5. Create a QR code for each question/prompt. Copy and paste
the QR code next to each question/prompt above. QR codes
can link to text, web sites, images, and more
There are a lot of QR code generators. Some have colors, some
allow many options, some are just black and white, and some
force you to download the QR code. This QR code generator
allows you to copy and paste rather than download:

http://www.classtools.net/QR/ - it is preferable for you to try
the do it yourself QR code generators rather than class tools.
If you are struggling, then refer to class tools for help.
