One response to “Scavenger Hunt”

  1. Kat,
    It looks like you’ve located some really interesting materials, but the links aren’t working! Try highlighting a single word, then clicking on the small image of a chain that appears in your toolbar, then copy and past the URL address and click submit. That should work and allow you create hyperlinks (rather than including the long and cumbersome web address). How is this outside information helping you think about and understand the role of bus stops? What’s most interesting about this place?

    Best–
