Unit 2 Review
Here's how to play JEOPARDY!
The class will be split into two teams, the RED team and the GREEN team.
When a question is displayed, the RED team will use the ABCD keys on their clickers to answer. The
GREEN team will use the EFGH keys to answer.
The team with the HIGHEST PERCENTAGE of correct responses will earn the points for that question,
AND the right to pick the next category!
Let's do a practice question to make sure everybody understands how to play.
