Project presentation: Trivia!

Main idea

The objective of the lessons is to provide the students with a dynamic method to review for their final exams.

Since they will have to go through the units of both trimesters in order to choose the questions/words, they will be studying cooperatively.

The idea of celebrating the Trivia! session in June is that students that could not pass their final May exams have a chance to revise for their June retakes.

Assessment

  • Students self-evaluation.

  • Teacher's evaluation through observation in the class.

  • Project evaluation.
