WORRIED ABOUT WHAT TO STUDY?Broadly speaking, there are 6 events covered in the exam next week.

Today we will review the sequences of those events by using a game show format to focus our study on the test material of the topics.

三 STUDY GUIDE PART TWO

a game show kinda like Family Feud, but not really…

AS WE PLAY

If you are a contestant, you will be sitting at the front of the classroom. When it is your turn, please stand up and get ready to write your answers on the board. You only need to write the underlined words.

If you are in the audience, you are encouraged to tell answers to the contestant at the board. Your main focus should be writing down the sequences in the rows on your paper.

If a contestant gets a wrong answer, I will write a big red X on the screen to mean ‘strike one’. If you get three strikes, we’ll move on to the other team.

Guess carefully and ask your audience, too!
