JEOPARDY

Heeeeeeere we go! We are going to play Jeopardy today to prepare for our class

Answer Sheets: you will all receive a blank answer sheet to write down the answers to the questions

Questions will be online by tonight (so you will only have to write in the answer to save time)

THE QUESTIONS

I have ordered the questions a little more in levels of difficulty

The 500 point questions (for the most part) require slightly deeper thinking, and your responses will have to be more thorough

LET’S BEGIN!
