Materials:
 PowerPoint Jeopardy Game, Video.
Introduction:
 I will begin my class by explaining how the game will work and splitting the class into two teams.
Development:
 Not only will the Jeopardy game help review, it will also teach new students information that they might have not known or learned during lecture.
Practice:
 The Jeopardy game will be a fun way for the students to review material before the test.
Accommodations:
 I have a review sheet of the Jeopardy game questions so the students can review the game questions at home.
Checking For Understanding:
 The game itself would be a check for understanding to see how much the students know.
Closure:
 Because the game will not take the whole class period, I will have a video for them to watch.
Evaluation:
 My evaluation of how the game went will come from the test result. I am hoping that the Jeopardy game will increase the scores of students.
Teacher Reflections:
 I will reflect on the test scores and see which questions most students answered wrong. I will be able to determine which parts of my lecture/lessons I need to improve on.
