Test Review Day

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!

Please Do Now:

1. On a blank piece of paper, invent 5 questions that you think I might ask on Friday’s test.  Make two easy short answer questions, two medium short answer questions, and one hard essay question.  I will collect these when you are finished. 

Today, students will:

1. Divide into your 2nd Quarter Peer Editing Groups.  These are your teams for today’s game.  Take 3 minutes to come up with a team name (suggestion: be like Alexander the Great and name them after yourselves).
2. Here is a list of some (not all) of the terms that I think will be helpful for Friday’s test (Test 2 Review List).    You will also be responsible for bigger why and how questions (How did Plato view the physical world?  Why did the Peloponnesian War start?)
3. The game works like charades.  A representative from each team draws terms from a box, and acts them out while their teammates try to guess the terms.  The team that guesses the most terms wins.
4. The rules are as follows: In round 1, people who are acting out the terms can talk while their teammates are guessing, but cannot say the word or anything that sounds like it or rhymes with it.  In round 2, people can act out the terms but can only say two words.  In round 3, people can only act out the terms but cannot say anything.  Teams that are not performing for a round must silently pay attention so they can learn good words and motions to use in later rounds.
5. Teams go in turns and have one minute to act out as many terms as possible.  The round conitnues until all terms are guessed.  Each term is worth one point.  If you mess up and break the rules, your team loses one point.   

Tonight’s homework is:

1. Study for the test!
