What This Game Reviews
Free verse, the mentor archetype, indirect characterization, subtext and how to turn a topic into a theme; the main point of a summary, press releases, memoir, a call to action and the op-ed; pathos, the thesis, the rebuttal, bandwagon and false choice; show, don’t tell, sentence fragments, the comma splice, the delayed reveal and dialogue punctuation; personification, alliteration, connotation, the root chrono and understatement; plagiarism, paraphrase, Works Cited, source bias and synthesis; and a Final Question on the rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet. The questions review lessons from my high school English sub plans, and the game works just as well on its own for any 9th to 12th grade English class.
Made for Grades 9 to 12
The questions are short and climb from familiar terms at $100 to harder ones at $500: free verse, pathos and personification at the start, theme as a statement, false choice and synthesis at the top. Each answer is a term or a short fix, and the teacher key lists close answers to accept and common mix-ups to reject (summary or paraphrase, editorial or op-ed), so any sub can judge them. Every question is editable, so you can swap any of them for the terms your class uses.
Play It Without a Projector
Print the question cards double-sided and cut them apart. Lay them question-down on the table so students see only the category and the dollar value, just like the board. A student picks a card, a partner reads the question and checks the answer printed on the card. The same cards work for pairs, stations and small groups, and for a sub day.
Daily Double and Final Question
The Daily Double hides behind one cell on the board. The team that picks it wagers any amount up to their total before seeing the question, and doubles that wager if they answer correctly. When the board is cleared, every team writes down a Final Question wager, the question is shown, and teams add or lose their wager. Highest total wins.
Works On
Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks. Project the slides. No student devices or logins required.
Important
Play in Slideshow (Present) mode so every cell, button, and link works. The sound buttons (thumbs up, thumbs down, and music) work in the PowerPoint version, which is included here. Google Slides does not play sounds, so those buttons are simply decorative in the Slides version.
