| Title | Review Ideas - Part 3 |
| Body | Why not try a Jeopardy game? A simple method is to use cards that are taped or magnetized to the blackboard. We are fortunate enough to have purchased a Quiz Pro, a lights and buzzer system that allows up to eight students to compete at once. If your school has a quiz team they may have one of these systems you might borrow. My partner, the other Italian teacher, has designed a great Jeopardy game on Power Point that we use. We project the image on a screen using a data projector. There is a professional version out there somewhere, too. You might also try Human scrabble for verb/ vocab review. Create two identical sets of alphabet cards( I just used stenciled oak tag). Divide the class into two teams and then ask your question. Students scramble to hold up the correct answer. My rules are simple. Each member of the team must be holding up a card, either with a letter on it or a blank by turning the card over to the blank side. One team member is designated the captain who shouts out "Pronto!" (Ready!). First team with the correct answer wins. The kids love it and I get a big kick out of watching the dynamics of their group cooperation and interaction. I have two sets of Scrabble cards - one for each team. I made three complete sets of the alphabet, two sets of extra vowels, two sets of accented vowels, and two extra sets of consonants that usually double such as "s", "r", and "l". When there is a need I let the students use the opposite blank side for an extra letter. This happens if we are working on phrases or sentences - seldom for words. "Last man standing" - Real simple - Line the students up. Quick time a question. Wrong response, student sits down. Last man( or woman) standing wins. This can be adapted to any grammar, vocab or culture unit. Pairs activities - Design two similar yet different worksheets with quick response activity. Pair up the students. Using a timer have Partner A read the questions to Partner B and write down his answers. Then do the same with switched partners. I usually like to have the answers on overhead slides to go over the correct responses. Students correct the answers - the partner with the highest number of correct answers wins. Biaggia, R.
