Review -- Animal Farm Jeopardy!
- The "What?"
- Prior to today's Animal Farm Multiple Choice Assessment, the five or six teams into which you are currently organized will play an online game of Animal Farm Review Jeopardy!
- The "Why?"
- Today's game...
- is being played because we have "extra" time due to yesterday's two-hour delay.
- is intended to provide an opportunity to...
- gather additional notes that might prove helpful when taking today's assessment and completing the upcoming writing piece
- ask questions about, discuss, and learn about some of what we "missed" when working through the novella together.
- Game Play
- Team 1 picks from the board, quietly discusses the question/prompt, and responds in 20 seconds or less.
- If the team spokesperson responds correctly, points are awarded, and play moves to Team 2.
- If incorrect, no points are awarded, and play moves to Team 2 on the same question/prompt.
- If correct, points are awarded, and play stays at Team 2 on a new question.
- If incorrect, no points are awarded, and play moves to Team 3 on the same question for the final opportunity to respond correctly.
- If correct, points are awarded, and play goes back to Team 2 on a new question.
- If incorrect, no points are awarded, and play goes back to Team 2 on a new question.
- The game proceeds in this manner until the board is cleared.
- The Stakes
