Notes for the teacher: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;"> “Find Someone Who” is a cooperative learning activity that can be used to review and practice just about any type of vocabulary or content. The activity was designed by Kagan, the cooperative learning guru, and templates can be found in a variety of Kagan publications.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0);"> “Find Someone Who” Instructions: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;"> TEACHER PREP: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;"> INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STUDENTS: <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;"> When the timer rings after 10 mintues, students return to their seats regardless of the content of their worksheet. The first three people to finish then read aloud who answered each of their worksheet questions – that is, who signed for each square. Other students follow along on their own worksheet to check for accuracy as well as make sure that the person reading only used his/her own name once and the names of others students no more than twice.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Using a BINGO-style board, in each square write a vocabulary or content question from //Out of the Dust//.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Decide and obtain prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Have the “Find-Someone Who” worksheet copies, markers, and a timer.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Each student will have a marker and a worksheet.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Students will have 10 minutes to complete the worksheet.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Students walk around the room and ask others if they know the answer to a question in one of the squares.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">If the student in question knows the answer, he/she signs at the bottom of the square.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Students continue to move around the room and find others to sign squares until their worksheet is filled.
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">Students may sign their own worksheet **ONLY ONCE!**
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">The same person can only sign a worksheet **TWICE!**
 * <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 11pt;">The first three people to show the teacher a completed worksheet earn a prize.

After checking the work, engage students in a whole-group or small-group discussion about //Out of the Dust// trivia they just reviewed.

When the timer rings, the discussion ends, and students turn in their worksheets for the teacher to check for overall class accuracy and participation.
