1. A Thousand Splendid Suns – Jeopardy Review RULES
You will compete in teams to earn the most points by answering questions about the book
If you answer correctly, you get the point value of the question
If you answer incorrectly you will get negative points
Keep track of your own score
Once the question is asked you will have 30 seconds to talk as a team to decide on your answer
While you can collaborate to answer, the spokesperson MUST be the one to answer the question on your white board
The role of “spokesperson” will switch each round
Every team has the opportunity to get points every round… aka everyone will answer the question and then after the time is up, whoever has the right answer gets points
All teams can participate in final jeopardy, even if they are in the negatives
