1) From experiences, I know grade 7s are competitive and active when it comes to games they like. Therefore the activity mustn’t be too boring, static or with no competition. The activity I’ve came up with is called Pass the ball which is related to Hot potato but with a literary twist. So to begin the goal of this game is not to be the one holding the ball at the end and avoid elimination. So basically all that is needed is a ball and to set up the participants sit in a circle, with enough space between each other to pass the ball comfortably and the prefect would be the host or moderator to observe the game and identify ‘It’ and ask the questions. So the game is simple, here’s the rules: • The person holding the ball is ‘It’. • The host or moderator asks a question and calls out ‘Pass the ball’. • …show more content…
For example, the host calls out “Name five synonyms of ‘nice’. Pass the ball”, the player then has to pass the ball and name five synonyms before the ball comes back to him. • Other players have to pass the ball while the player answers the question. • The player holding the ball at the end of the answers becomes the new ‘It’ and faces the moderator’s next question. • If the ball comes back to the original holder before he or she can answer the question, they are eliminated. (They can go help anyone else answer questions if they want, so they’re not bored). • All in all, this game encourages kids to think quickly and answer literacy questions, while building their vocabulary
What is the way to persuade an audience? By persuading an audience, one should know how to use rhetorical strategies. Therefore, rhetoric is a technique in what everyone uses, without noticing, but it’s described as an art that let’s us deliver messages and try to communicate effectively with the audience in order to persuade them. A video, called “3 Ways to Speak English”, where a young woman presents her poem in being “Trilingual orator” giving her reasons and the definition of being articulate. Not only she speaks about it,but delivers a message to her audience to be articulate.
“Often fear of one evil leads us into a worse”(Despreaux). Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux is saying that fear consumes oneself and often times results in a worse fate. William Golding shares a similar viewpoint in his novel Lord of the Flies. A group of boys devastatingly land on a deserted island. Ralph and his friend Piggy form a group. Slowly, they become increasingly fearful. Then a boy named Jack rebels and forms his own tribe with a few boys such as Roger and Bill. Many things such as their environment, personalities and their own minds contribute to their change. Eventually, many of the boys revert to their inherently evil nature and become savage and only two boys remain civilized. The boys deal with many trials, including each other, and true colors show. In the end they are being rescued, but too much is lost. Their innocence is forever lost along with the lives Simon, a peaceful boy, and an intelligent boy, Piggy. Throughout the novel, Golding uses symbolism and characterization to show that savagery and evil are a direct effect of fear.

and a point is added to our tally (actually, we lost track of the official tally years ago. By now, it would probably be in the thousands). This game is no mere fun activity used to pass the time; it is more cut-throat than any match you can find on ESPN. The ‘Where’s Waldo?’ is just one of the many games my parents have come up with over the years – and these games are just one of their many quirks. At times, this quirkiness seems more of a curse than a gift.
After playing outside with his cousins and siblings, Tyler came inside to play “Guesstures.” This game was a little difficult because he had to act out the word to his team. Then his team had to guess before time ran out. He found it hard to move on to the next card when his team could not guess what he was doing. Tyler demonstrated great gains in cooperation, competition without tantrums, winning, and losing.
If two or more players happen to roll the same number, then they will roll the dice again until one player rolls a higher number. Then, the first player starts their turn by rolling the dice and moving the according places on the board. The player will have the chance of either landing on a light green, orange, pink, or blue space. If the player lands on a pink space with a letter “P” on it, then the player will pick up a pink card, read it out loud and answer the question. If answered correctly, then the player will receive points (representing the difficulty of the question). The amount of points may be found in the right corner of the blue and pink cards. Everytime players recieve points for answering questions correctly, the player may record the number on points they have on the notepad with the pencil. These points will keep an ongoing tally that will come in play at the end of the game. If the question is answered incorrectly then you will lose one point, regardless of the difficulty of the card. If the player lands on a blue space, then the player will pick up a blue card and continue as they would if it were a pink card. After the cards are picked up and listening, they are to be discarded by being
The loser of the first game doesn’t have to go home. The tournament is double elimination. After the first game is lost, the player goes down to the loser’s bracket. One loss in there means it’s time to go home, or at least sit down and wait for the nine-ball break. The winner of the loser’s bracket is guaranteed second place. To get first place the winner of the loser bracket will have to beat the winner of the winner’s bracket twice.

I am Laura Waters. As producer of Summer Heights High, I am well placed to give some advice on this matter. I am writing to reply to your request for advice which you had put onto the ABC blog. Before you decide whether or not you believe your child should watch this show, I will outline the key things to consider. One of the main concerns is the offensive language used throughout the show. More important features to recognise is the behaviours and values shown throughout.
You see, my class and I needed a game to play. After all, I was a physical education instructor.

There is a crisis happening within our schools, as we have children that do not want to engage, while our intelligence is dwindling compared to the rest of the world. Games in the classroom, however, could be a tool to combat this, as they engage students, create positive thinking, and boost problem-solving skills.
As you can see, Quizizz is a great activity to use in the classroom to promote student learning and give each student a great understanding of the material. I think that a game like Quizizz should be used in classrooms all over the country. Technology is advancing day by day, and we need to start taking advantage of it. Online artifacts like Quizizz exist for this reason, and give teachers and students the great opportunity to utilize the game, with great perks that come with
This is going to be one of those classes that I look back upon and say, ìWow, that course really changed the way I think about things.îI have been thinking a lot about what I want to say in this statement and now that I am finally writing it, it seems I am at a loss.I know, though, that the affects of this class, for me anyway, will be far reaching.It has helped me to think in new ways about a multiplicity of things: empowerment, nurturance, the rhetoriticity of race and gender, power, what it means to be an intellectual or a professional.If I were to try and sum up the immediate (and what I would think are rather superficial in that I think the influence of this class upon who I am as a citizen/teacher/woman/student/intellectual is only just beginning) impact that this course has had upon me, I would say that it has helped me to begin to think of writing/teaching/living as both public and private acts at the same time.Reconciling the personal and the public aspects of my life, ìmoving away from oppositions and towards multiplicities in [my] thinking (reading essay7)î, and thinking of myself not in terms of ìthis-or-thatî but ìboth/andî have been continuous threads throughout my reading essays.
