**Date:** Tuesday, April 7, 2009

**Student/Classroom Description:** 5 students- 3 girls and 2 boys. 8th grade Language Arts. No known exceptionalities
 * Housekeeping Stuff:** Teachers will announce that this is the last meeting that will take place. Teachers will ask students to pull out their 6 block summary chart. **(2 minutes)** 

For our lesson, we will be playing a type of game similar to Jeopardy. The students will choose what point value and type of question they want to answer. The teachers will read the question and the student will answer. The purpose of this game is to test the students on what they have read in their books and see what they have learned from the other students in their group. It is a fun way to assess the knowledge the students have obtained.
 * Lesson Description/Rationale:**


 * Materials & Equipment:**
 * Homemade Jeopardy board with "tags" on it
 * 6 block summary chart (finished from previous class)

**Learning Objectives:** . **1.C.3a** Use information to form, explain and support questions and predictions. =Lesson Content = 
 * Students will be able to summarize what they have learned through discussion.
 * Students will verbally answer questions about their book
 * Students will be able to acknowledge specific facts regarding each others' books
 * Learning Standards:**
 * 1.B.3c** Continuously check and clarify for understanding (e.g., in addition to previous skills, draw comparisons to other readings).

Set Induction:
All students and teachers will take out their 6 block summary chart. Going around the circle, each student and teacher will explain what each picture means and why they chose it. This is a discussion of the whole book similar to writing a summary but in a way that more students can connect to it. **(10 minutes).**

 * 1) <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**(30 minutes)** We will introduce the Jeopardy game to the students. Each student will pick a number out of a bag without looking. The numbers range from 1-5, and represent the order of turns taken for the game. The game board consists of cateories (inventions, medical, technology, & mystery). The teachers will introduce the rules of the game to the student. The rules are as follows:
 * <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The student will pick one category and one point total.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The teacher will read the question out loud and the student will answer the question.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the incorrect answer is given, or the student cannot give an answer, then the other students may raise a hand to be called on. The invidicual with their hand in the air fastest will get to respond next. The student called on will answer the question and recieve the points that the question is valued at, if answered correctly. After the whole game (or what time allows us) the students will be rewarded for their knowledge of each subject, as well as particiption in each lesson (ie. reading their books, finishing their foldables and charts, etc).
