3. Pencil 4. Unit Test Procedures: 1. On Monday 10/14 students will be broken in two groups of boys and girls and they will play a review game to get prepared for the unit test. a. The students will all sit on the carpet with their team and the teacher will flip a coin to see who goes first. b. The students will be read the questions and will have 15 seconds to answer the question. If the team misses the question it goes to the other team for a chance to answer. If the answer correct they will gain full points. If they answer incorrectly they lose the total amount of points the question was worth. 2. After the game students will get a chance to view the correct answers to the questions missed. Then they will get a small review of those particular questions and be instructed to study more for the upcoming test. 3. The test will be given on Thursday 10/ 17. This is the Summative assessment for the unit and will be graded as a major test. Activity Analysis: 1. The Jeopardy will be given to review all the material for the test. this supports the objective directly, because it is a cumulative review of all the information given during the unit. This will help students because the questions being asked come directly from the test. The Smartboard will be used during the game. This will be a PowerPoint template given to me by my CT. 2. The Unit Test This activity covers all the objectives covered during the unit No technology will be used. This is a paper and pencil test.
