Jeopardy Review Assignment
due Monday, May 7th by 6 PM
LET’S PLAY JEOPARDY! For this assignment, you will create a Jeopardy game by developing answers (& questions) for the categories listed below. Since there are 12 categories with 5-dollar amounts associated with each category, you will create 60 questions. Just like the actual Jeopardy game show, your questions will increase in difficulty.
You will need to download the Jeopardy PowerPoint template from the “Review” section of my website. Use the instructions on the following page to construct your game. You can either email it to me () or bring it in on a flash drive so I can upload it in class. In order for me to give you credit for your work, please save your game using just your first & last name. For example,
seanbennett would represent my Jeopardy game.
Your review grade will be based on the quality of your questions & whether or not you complete this assignment on time. Once your Jeopardy is submitted to me, I will put it on my website so that everyone can play it whenever they want. You must take special care to ensure that your questions & answers are accurate so that you do not confuse each other. True/false & multiple-choice questions are not permitted. If you would like to incorporate a figure you may do so. All chapter figures from the learning logs and PowerPoints are available on my website. Keep track of the topics or concepts that you need to brush up on and focus some attention on them as you prepare for the exam.
Good luck, have fun & review well!!

Jeopardy Review
Creating Jeopardy
Download the “Jeopardy template” from the review section of my website and save it under a different name on a flash drive or your home computer’s hard drive. Below you will find the layout of the PowerPoint, slide-by-slide. Remember that in Jeopardy, contestants are shown the answer (statement) and must come up with the question. Additionally, please remember that your questions should increase in difficulty with the increasing dollar amounts. It will probably be helpful to write your questions on paper first & then consult this list when creating your game. Also, all throughout the year, we covered concepts that applied to earlier information. For example, we discussed many different cell types in the animal physiology unit so do not create all your “Cell” questions from Chapter 6 alone.
