Welcome to Mr. Gross’s Wonderful Tuesday, June 18th, 2013 Welcome to Mr. Gross’s Wonderful World of TRIVIA!!!! WARM UP: - Get your team names written down on your whiteboards AND CUPS and try your best to be quiet!

Goal for Today SWBAT recall 2nd Semester concepts as shown through answering questions in a question-answer knowledge game.

How it works…. Each table group comes up with a team name When Mr. Gross puts a question on the board, each team must write their answer on the whiteboard at their table The “WRITER” will change for each question You will have exactly 1 minute to answer each question – everyone holds up boards at same time Once you hold your board up, you cannot put it down for any reason (or you will not get a point)

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER….. TALK WHEN YOU ARE HOLDING UP YOUR BOARDS – YOUR TEAM WILL NOT GET A POINT IF YOU ARE TALKING

To Win…. Just like yesterday you will accumulate C-I-A-C “C”andies “I”n “A” “C”up
