McWhorter 5th Graders Participate in Mystery Skype Call

On Apr. 12, 5th grade students from McWhorter Elementary participated in a "Mystery Skype Call" in which they spoke with another 5th grade class in a mystery location. Students from each school took turns asking yes/no questions such as, "are you west of the Mississippi?" to determine the location of the other school. Some students were assigned as greeters, others as the questioning team, others as a 'think tank.' Students would look up Google Maps on their iPads and consult printed resources to help formulate questions to see which class would be the first to determine the location of the other school.
