**See "Word Part Jeopardy (1)" for a free dowload of the entire game.**
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. It's a great way to get kids to see connections between word parts and the definitions of English words.
The preview only contains the clues/slides for the $100 questions and I'm using the same preview on all versions of the game, so don't get confused if they all look the same! The real 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.
See my description of Word Part Jeopardy (1) for suggestions on how to play in your classroom and more information on the template.

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.
