Review Jeopardy

AIM: I will review for Monday's exam by competing in a Jeopardy game.


Standard: All standards from the year are in today's review

Do Now

1) What continents are in the New World?
2) How do you write “Handy Man” in Latin?
3) How do you write “High City” in Greek?
4) If Cleopatra was born in 10 BCE and lived 45 years, what year did she die?

Lesson Steps: Once we finished our Do Nows, we went right into having a couple students read excerpts from their vocabulary stories. We then went right into the Jeopardy game that covered the questions that were on the back of the study guide. This game took up the majority of the class period until we dismissed for the day.

Homework: Continue to answer questions on the back of the study guide and prepare for the exam on Monday.

Map Review and Vocab Connections

AIM: I will review this year's vocabulary words by stretching the definition connections to the map of the Old World after running a map review relay.

Standard: 7.3.1, 7.4.1, 7.5.1, 7.7.1, 7.8.1 = Locate and describe the geography of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, India & China
7.LD-V.10- Determine meanings, pronunciations, alternate word choices, correct spellings of vocabulary words.

Do Now:
1) Who created the Continental Drift Theory?
2) What vocab word means to swing from arm to arm?
3) What are the two major rivers of India?
4) If Aristotle was born in 384 BCE and lived 62 years, what year did he die?

Lesson Steps:
Once we finished the Do Now some students shared their Vocabulary stories. These stories look great and I am excited to read them all. Next we went right into doing a relay race to draw the entire Old World on the board. We then did a new activity which called for us to highlight a specific section of the map and then randomly pull out a vocabulary word and match it to the location. This activity continues the work we have done all year on connecting vocabulary words to things in our lives and also to other words. We ended the day with our usual dismissal procedures.

Homework: Answer questions on back of review guide for Monday's Exam and Tomorrow's Game of Jeopardy.

Quiz Day

Today we took an assessment on the Greece unit. The quiz took all period.

Homework: Vocabulary stories due tomorrow. (See handout from May 20th)

Quiz Prep Day

AIM: I will review 5 items covering two standards for Tuesday's quiz on Greece.

Standards: 7.8.2 & 7.8.3

Lesson Steps:
Today is a half day and we have a quiz on Greece on Tuesday. So we jumped right into a review game of partner relays. Students filled out the handout from today in partners and brought it up to me to be checked at each section that was complete. We had fun and also reviewed for Tuesday's quiz!
