About

Students have to match the pilgrim to the description given, but I like to extend this practice by having students go on a "scavenger hunt": I ask teachers with the off-periods during my senior classes if they will take on the roles of the pilgrims, reciting the descriptions (vs giving students the worksheet). Students then go in small groups to the teachers, writing down a brief version of the description and figuring out which pilgrims each teacher is supposed to be.
