Objectives

Materials
Notecards
Chalk/white board
Procedure
This Jeopardy game includes cards provides an answer for each question being
asked. The content being asked was previously learned; this is a form of review. Before
the students enter the classroom, index cards would be premade with all of the category
headings and "answers" relevant to the subject area. On one side of the index card will
have the question while the other side of each answer card. Each card will have the
appropriate point value from two to ten. Each card will be hung up on the chalk/white
board with their perspective point value above it. As the students enter the classroom, I
will hand out each an index card with a number written on it; then go over the basic rules
of the game.
The game proceeds as follows:
Each group will be seated in a group together so they can work together.
A jar with Popsicle sticks with a numbers on each one will be picked and called it
out.

Have the student whose number is called on select a category and a point value.

Read the answer for that category and point value, or have the student read the
answer. Ask the student to respond with the question that corresponds to the
uncovered answer.
For example: If the answer reads "This state bought Alaska from Russia for
this much money, in 1867," the correct question is "Who was United States
and US$7.2 million?

If the student asks a correct question, award him or her the number of points
indicated.

If the student asks an incorrect question, draw another number and give the
student who holds the new number a chance to respond. Students must pay
attention, however; answers are not reread.

Five minutes before the end of the game, stop and review the scores, and get
ready for the final answer of the day.

Everyone plays the final round. Read the final answer and give students 45
seconds to write their final questions on a sheet of scrap paper.

Students can play the game as individuals or be arranged into two or more teams.

If the game is played individually, each student might earn his or her score in
bonus quiz points. If played in teams, each member of the winning team might
earn 10 bonus points to use on the next class quiz.

If a point is reached at which every number has been called, put all the numbers
back in the box and begin calling numbers again.

If the game is played in teams, have each team provide a scorekeeper at the start
of play. Each scorekeeper should keep a running score of all team scores. To
ensure accuracy, have scorekeepers double-check one another's math as play
continues.

In the final round, every student can present his or her own question or students
can put their names on their final questions and pass them to a team captain to
read. Teams score 10 points for each correct response.

Differentiation

For Merideth, she will be able to answer the questions using her Co:Writer/iPad.
When answering the question, Merideth as well as the whole class will be given a
beeper to click when she wants to answer the question.
When answering the questions, she will be given extended time to answer the
questions so she can type.
If Merideth is sitting in her wheelchair or her desk, the group will move to where
she is located so she does not have to get up and move.
After the review is over, a copy of all the questions will be given to Merideth,
incase she missed part of the question.

Assessment
Students earn bonus points to add on to test or homework scores.
An exit card will be filled out with any questions they have for the test.
