Activity adapted from Doug Mills [dmills@uiuc.edu], LinguaCenter, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
This is a class activity which is designed to be both FUN and EDUCATIONAL (yes, both are possible at the same time!). Working with a partner, try to find the answers to the 10 questions below. When you have found them, check them with your teacher. You will be able to find the answers to all of these questions within a few mouseclicks or arrow tabs from your starting point--the Frizzy University Network (FUN) home page. By reading the FUN home page carefully and by following the links strategically, you will be able to answer these questions. Record your answers on a piece of paper. Have fun and good luck!
Useful Tip: If you are using Netscape, under the "File" Menu, select "New Window" and move it to the right of your screen so that you can look at the questions while you are searching for the information--pretty handy, eh?
