Lets play Jeopardy!
Using MS PowerPoint, students will develop a Jeopardy Game where "Answers" are given to the contestants and they provide the "Questions". The game designers (students) will produce the categories with point values - the higher the point value, the harder the "Answer".
For example, here's a sample "Answer" (What the contestants see):
In outer space there's a big ball of fire that provides heat and sunlight to The Earth.
The correct "Question" would be (What the contestants respond):
What is the Sun?
For example, here's a sample "Answer" (What the contestants see):

The correct "Question" would be (What the contestants respond):
What is the Sun?
What types of "Answers" should it be?
The Answers you create should be factual and of general knowledge. Try to give details in the Answers so that the contestants may provide a single response. Opinions do not work since the responses can vary.
Example of an opinion Answer: "This man was known for his intelligence during Medieval Times" (this is too vague)
Example of a Jeopardy Answer: "This man was known for painting the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and designed weapons for war." (who is Leonardo Da Vinci)

Your turn to challenge your classmates
This is your turn to challenge your classmates with information they may or may not know. The categories are open, meaning you can choose your topics, but try to keep the "Answers" easy since your classmates may be knowledgeable in many different topics.
