BCR “COMPARE & CONTRAST” QUESTION There will be a BCR question on the test. You will compare two different things that are on the study list.
BLUFF!
The Rules In turn, each team will be asked a question. Team members who know the answer will stand up. The other team will select ONE person standing up to answer the question. If that person gives a correct answer, the team will receive as many points as there are people standing up. If the answer is wrong, that many points will be subtracted.
More Rules Each team will provide one scorekeeper. If no one from the team stands up, the other team will be awarded 5 points. If you do not stand up (i.e you don’t know the answer) add the term to your “To Study” list. A team may not call on the same person from the opposing team until they have called on all the other members of the opposing team.
