★Options for Use★

I play this game a little differently. I like to have all students ENGAGED and REVIEWING every question. So, I do this by having them answer every question. One team chooses the category and amount. EVERYONE answers the questions with their groups and records their answer on their whiteboards. The team whose turn it is show me their answer and if correct, I award them the points. If incorrect, any team that has the correct answer can go for the steal and get the points for that question. Then the next team gets to choose the category and points.

Features of this game:

✔ 25 Question Slides: various questions reviewing the given topic

✔ 25 Answer Slides: answers to the 25 question slides that link from each question to the answer.

✔ Game Board Slide: all question categories and amounts (click to go to a question and amounts will disappear as they are used)

✔ Scoreboard Slide: track points for each team with a WORKING SCOREBOARD!

✔ Buttons on EVERY SLIDE that will take you back to the game board or scoreboard.

✔ Reset Page buttons on the scoreboard and game board.

The categories and questions included are as follows:

• TEXT STRUCTURES: questions consist of definitions of the 5 types of text structure and students must state the type. (description, cause & effect, compare & contrast, problem & solution, and chronological order/sequence)

• AUTHOR's PURPOSE/POINT OF VIEW: questions consist of definitions of each and students must supply the correct term. ex. inform, persuade, entertain, 1st person, 3rd person
