Today I stopped by the grade 6 classroom to drop off a message and was I surprised and excited by what I saw! The whole class was deeply engaged in a game of “Call It Courage Jeopardy”. In the role of Jeopardy host, was Mr. A, the grade 6 teacher. The class was divided into two teams – the Terminators and the Smarty Pants. The students had to answer progressively more difficult questions in 6 different categories. All of the answers to the questions could be found in the book. When I left the classroom the Smarty Pants were hurting after a big gamble on the Daily Double which cost them most of their points and the Terminators were sitting pretty with 1200 points.
All of the students were engaged in the activity, actively searching for the answers in the book, demonstrating comprehension and cooperating together in their teams. It was a great sight to see.
Nice idea for an interactive reading response, Mr. A!
