Prize: The first two persons to complete the Scavenger Hunt with the correct responses will be awarded tuition for a one-day NCLRC Summer Institute.
Directions: Go to the home page of the Culture Club at http://nclrc.org/cultureclub/. You will see an icon for each of the rooms in the Culture Club. Below you are given a clue to find a resource in each room. Click on the icon of each room and then click on Collection in the upper right-hand corner. All resources are found in the Collections of the rooms.
Go to the Spanish Collection in the Library. Try not to get lost among all the books. This book by Spanish author Arturo Perez-Reverte has been getting rave reviews. Give the title.
Go to the Italian Collection in the Screening Room. Quiet in the theater! Silencio al cinema! Based on the novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky, in this story of unrequited love, Mario (Marcello Mastroianni) falls desperately in love with Natalia who is in love with a man who has disappeared. Name this film.
Go to the Japanese Collection in the Music Room. Which traditional Japanese instrument is used in the Sakura album?
Go to the Arabic Collection in the Speaker's Corner. Professor Sharafuddin tells us that Arabic is spoken in how many countries?
Go to the French Collection in the Teacher's Lounge. Stop lounging around and get back to work! There are students awaiting your precious lessons! But don't worry. This little prince will help you get your lesson plans back on track the way that he helped Dr. Lavergne. What is the name of the book that French teacher Marcel Lavergne based his Connections strand activities on?
Go to the German Collection. This is where some of the coolest kids from around the world tell us about their lives. This trilingual 17 year old loves wienerschnitzel, playing soccer and volleyball. Her name is Italian- in her country they speak German- but do not be deceived! What city does this student hail from?
Go to the Banquet Hall Collection. Just in time for the New Year! This cake is so sweet that people will swarm around you like bees! Here are some of the ingredients to this delicious dessert: add 1 3/4 cups honey, 1 cup strong coffee, 2 teaspoons spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg), 2 tablespoons brandy. Now you know most of the secrets, but can you name three other ingredients and the dessert?
Go to the Photo Gallery Collection and find ancient Rome. Who was buried in the Piramide?
Go to the Culture Shocks Blog. Which story did you find the most interesting?
