QR Challenge: Point Of View

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

• Download a QR reader (e.g. I-Nigma | NeoReader | Kaywa) onto their mobile devices
• Bring these devices into the lesson.

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

---

B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

Question	Answer
1. It was early. Way too early for John to be bounding out of bed, racing down the hallway, and leaping onto his sleeping parents. But he did it anyway, shouting, “It's my birthday! It's my birthday!” His mind was full of racing thoughts. He squealed, “When do we eat cake? When to we open gifts?!” “Uh-oh,” thought John's mom. She knew she still had to buy his special gift: a new cherry-red bike. There were things to finish around the house before she could sneak away to the toy store. “That's a long way off, mister,” his mother said. “Your party isn't until tonight, and we have plenty of things to do to get ready before your guests arrive. The first thing you should do is go wash up and we can have some birthday pancakes.” John pretended to grumble, but he was actually looking forward to some special birthday flapjacks, hot off the griddle.	third person omniscient

I hurtled myself into my parent's quiet bedroom, shouting, “It's my birthday! It's my birthday!” My parents slowly woke from their slumer as I squealed, “When do we eat cake? When do we open gifts?” “That's a long way off, mister,” my mother said. “Your party isn't until tonight, and we have plenty of things to do to get ready before your guests arrive.
