Have students work in pairs to research a topic, using the web and other sources, to create a Fact-Finding Activity for another pair of students. Provide the topics, or have students brainstorm a list. You might wish to supply the list of websites for students to use, to ensure appropriateness for your class. Topic ideas are world hunger (statistics, aid organizations involved in alleviating hunger, related health issues); Afghan refugee camps; major events in Afghanistan’s history; land mines in Afghanistan. Students identify the facts they think are most relevant to their chosen topic and create a list of questions based on those facts. The other pair then finds the answers to those questions, using the sources they are provided.
