Sample Images of this Item

This is a realistic-looking version of Jeopardy using PowerPoint. It includes a round of regular Jeopardy with five categories, five questions each, and one daily double. There is also a Final Jeopardy question. This game covers the basic background story of The Odyssey with a focus on the stories of Calypso, the Cyclops, Circe, and Odysseus’s return to Ithaca.

The preview only contains the clues/slides for the $100 questions. The full version includes more sounds and animation as the board comes together and really looks good!

It's easy to play--the slides are all linked so you can click anywhere on the game board and it will take you to the right clue. When you're ready to check the answer, click near the words, and then click on the answer to take you back to the game board. Questions you've already answered turn blue, so you'll know which ones are still available.

I divide my class into groups of three or four to play. Any one in the group can answer the question. I have my kids shout out their own name if they think they know the answer, that way it's a little easier for me to distinguish who was first. I have another student helper who keeps score on the board and he/she helps me to choose the right student. I don't require answers in the form of a question, but you certainly could. I do deduct points/$ for wrong answers and play the daily double/final jeopardy just like they do on the show.

Okay, Julie...never mind...all of a sudden the slides started linking to the other screens which is what I thought was supposed to happen, so I think I'm good now...

Just be sure to click in the middle of the slides--right around or on the text--and the links should work just fine. Sometimes if you click on the outside of the slide it goes to the next in order rather than the answer slide. I'm glad you're enjoying it--and my other lessons!

Wow...I was the last person to ask you a question about another product! Sorry to be a a pain. Obviously, I love your stuff! I just downloaded the Odyssey jeopardy game and I am unsure how to use it. Could you give me a quick tutorial...? It seems awesome and I know my class will love it. Thanks SO much!

Hello!
Good game...just got it this morning. I have two questions.
1. How do you get back to the money screen after a question is answered?
2. Are there any answer slides.
Thanks,

Click again on the answer slide (close to the words) and it will link back to the main board and you should see the questions you've already chosen are now blue and so you choose another white one. I did not do an answer slide; it would've been a good idea. You could print thumbnails of the slides and that way have an answer key in the meantime, but I think I will look into making one for future versions. Thanks for asking about it and I hope your students enjoy it!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Grades Taught:
Subject Area:


Over the last 13 years, I have taught 7th grade through junior college, so the lesson plans that I share here could come from any of those grade levels. I am currently teaching 10th grade reading and world literature and 11th grade reading and American literature. I've been teaching reading for seven years, so most of my lessons were designed with my reluctant readers in mind. Recently I taught an honors level 9th grade class along with my remedial classes; I was surprised by how much my honors students learned when I used some of the same lessons (vocabulary, especially) that I was using with my remedial students. I think all of our students benefit if we slow down and emphasize quality over quantity.
