Thank you for sharing your hard work with me. I am a little confused about how I move around the board and what happens when the answer is right or wrong. Some clear instructions to how the game is played might be useful. We don't have Jeopardy in Australia I think,
June 9, 2013
Ritasue29 (TpT Seller)
First, go to present slideshow mode. When you get to the slide with all the categories that is what you share with students. They choose a category and amount, click on that amount. An answer will come up, they have to give you the question that goes with that answer. Once they answer float your mouse over the answer unto you see a hand appear this will give you answer screen, repeat and return back to the original game board. The category and amount you previously selected will now be a different color to show you have already done that one. I usually separate the students into two teams and keep their score on the board.

Alex M (TpT Seller)
While it might lead to some good discussion, I would have liked to have seen some sort of outcome to the case and an explanation of why. This is just the handouts for the students -- nothing to explain to the teacher how to implement this assignment, what sorts of groups to assemble, or how to assess. Just instructions to turn it in at the end.

Also, the "slide" dominated the screen and I couldn't access the column on the left with all of the slides or the outline. Thanks

I recently purchased the entire plan for $9.99 then apparently bought some of the individual handouts again for $1.00 - not realizing they were already included with my original purchase. Is there any chance I can be refunded for those additional (and needless) purchases? I'm new to teacherspayteachers...so I'm just getting the hang of this!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Before becoming a teacher, I was a substitute teacher as I attended my undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Geneseo. I have been a high school English teacher in New York State for 10 years. My undergraduate work consisted of Secondary Education with Concentration in English and History from SUNY Geneseo. My master's degree concentrated on integrating technology into the curriculum from the University of Phoenix Online. Many of my lessons integrate the use of technology in some way. I have been a teacher author for Teachers Pay Teachers since March of 2007.
MY TEACHING STYLE
I rarely lecture. I like to provide opportunities for students to learn and grow with my guidance rather than telling them the answers. I enjoy incorporating History and English together to give students a context in which to learn from and internalize.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
Yet to be added
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I attended the State University of Geneseo where I received my Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education with English and History Concentration. I received my Master's at The University of Phoenix online in Curriculum Technology.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I also teach courses to my peers for professional development in helping them to integrate technology in the classroom.
GRADES TAUGHT
Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Higher Education, Adult Education, Homeschooler
