Pilgrim Jeopardy Assignment

Okay, folks, you did a great job today annotating (along with Ms. Stokien) the first section of the packet.

Now you need to do the rest in preparation for our Pilgrim Jeopardy game!

Here are your group assignments. See Ms. Edinger or Ms. Stokien if you need a reminder as to what section you are doing.

Group 1: c15mb1, c15lk, c15fl (white cards)
Group 2: c15af, c15lk1, c15jg (yellow cards)
Group 3: c15sf, c15ss, c15os (purple cards)
Group 4: c15ck, c15md, c15hu (green cards)
Group 5: c15zb, c15ec, c15am (pink cards)
Group 6: c15bw, c15of, c15ai (blue cards)

As a group:

1. Go through your section and read it carefully (annotate and underline as necessary) and be sure EVERYONE in your group understands the whole section. If you are doing this during Lab and some of your group members are missing, go ahead and do it on your own and then go back over it with your group members when they are available. You must ALL be experts on your section for the game.

2. Once you’ve finished reading, as a group, come up with AT LEAST FIVE good questions and answers from your section (and write them down on scrap paper).

Ex. (From first section Ms. Stokien did with you);

Question: What was the third religious group to form (in England) and what was their main goal?

Answer: The Puritans/Separatists who wanted a more “pure” form of religion.

3. Check your questions/answers with Ms. Stokien or Ms. Edinger.

4. Write each question on a card (question on one side and answer on the other).

5. Decide on point value for each question. (Hard, Medium, Easy).

As an individual:
Carefully read the rest of the packet so you know it and can play the Jeopardy Game. You may get questions from other sections than your own.

    I was looking at this assignment and think that it is fantastic. I am planning on doing something similar and was wondering where you picked the articles for it. What do your kids think of this type of reading instruction? The Jeopardy game at the end sounds like ot would be a great motivator for the students. Looks great. Well done

    We used the four broadsheets from the Jackdaw kit (jackdaw.com) “Pilgrims and the Mayflower.” The kids are surprisingly great with it. (I worried they’d find it too dry, but they were very eager.) The Jeopardy Game went very well. They all really knew the material well.
