Another Jeopardy
« on: February 05, 2010, 12:28:33 pm »
This jeopardy has a number of questions from another one I found on here a while back but I changed over half to make it a bit harder for my high school kids. It made me a little sad to have to argue with one of my classes that Canada's capital is, in fact, Ottawa mind you...

These questions would be way too difficult for my high school students!

A tip:  if you have no time or don't want to mess with a ppt, you can just draw the grid on a build and print off all the questions and answers for yourself, pull it out school  :P

i'm at an academic high school and they seemed to have no problems. there was maybe one question each class that no one would get. even in that case the biggest hurdle tended to be they'd know the answer, but not in english. (i'd give a hint for the earth rotation on its axis question though, i would do a gesture for the rotating and use a pen to show what i meant by axis.)

Um, a classic shortfall of quiz games is when the answers--or questions as the case may be--are factually incorrect. Australia is not a continent.

haha this is true. Trust me that wasn't the only mistake! Questions were my own and gleaned from everywhere but this one was my fault. The wording for the question is a bit dicey but it got the answer I was looking for when I threw it in to replace one that was stumping the kids. I was just looking for the answer "Australia" because a lot of them know the country. A shortcoming of using Wikipedia I guess, since depending on which entry you look at, they will list australia as a continent instead of saying Oceania or Australasia. I had a tae kwan do question that was a walking controversy no matter where I got the official order of belt colours from that had to go too. This is why they aren't lining up to give me Trebeck's job I guess!

I've checked the powerpoint; there are no links to porn sites. Correlation does not imply causation.
