Students have previously submitted a profile sheet to the teacher with personal information completed. The teacher distributes a handout to each student with questions to be completed. Students have 15 minutes to walk around the room & ask each other questions about where they go to spend time at the lake. As soon as a student gets a "no" answer from a classmate, then they must go on to another student. The teacher has designed the questions to match up with every student. When the entire sheet is completed, then the class members locate each lake on a handout map. The teacher displays the correct answer key map.
