5. Students will work with their groups to answer the questions
for the
Jeopardy game.
6. The group with the most points at the end of the game
wins.
7. CLOSURE: Students will turn to their shoulder partner and
tell them one
thing they were unsure about that was covered during the
game.
F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student
understanding?
1. The whole Jeopardy game will be used to measure
understanding.
Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from
the
lesson.
Jeopardy is a way for students to review information and prepare
for
their presentations that will take place the next day. The
teacher willbe walking around to make sure students are
understanding the
question being asked and checking for student involvement when
the
groups are talking about possible answers.
G. Reflection:1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be
the easiest for you to
teach?
I think that explaining what questions will be on the Jeopardy
game
will be the easiest.
2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?
The most challenging part, I think, would be to teach the rules
of
the game of Jeopardy. Sometimes the rules can be tricky to
understand, but I would want to have modified rules that would
be
easier to follow.
3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?
I would want students to reflect on questions they did not
know
and write a paragraph on what they were confused about andhow
they will remember the answer.
4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the
concepts?
I will be providing support by walking around and listening to
the
table groups conversations and asking questions to guide
students
in the right direction.

5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to
change?
I would just maybe write the rules of the game on the board,
so
students have something to refer back to while the game is
in
session.
6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most
difficultpart?
I dont think I stumbled on any part of this lesson plan, it more
or less
just came out on paper.
