3.11 It's All About Who?

Bioriddles

This activity requires you to put on your detective hat and to get out your magnifying glass. If using the internet, it is a good idea to have your home facilitator with you. In your Learning Guide, you will find a list of 15 names and 15 clues. Your job is to match the names with the clues as a way to learn about some new people.

If searching online, you can put in key words from the clues. For example, if the clue is:

• I was a banker who started writing poetry.  I lived in the Yukon and wrote poems like, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”.  I am: ______________________

you could probably simply put in the title of the poem and you would quickly find the author.

If the clue is:

• I was a Canadian doctor.  I discovered that “insulin” improved and lengthened the life of people with diabetes.  I am:

you could probably search "discovered insulin" and you would get the result you are looking for.

Go to your Learning Guide and complete Bioriddles. Maybe you'll discover someone you'd like to choose for your biography research.
