Reflection for Use of this PowerPoint
Document  My first period class is what is
termed by the school as ELT or Extended Learning
Time. I teach social studies ELT and did for
this past year. The class consisted of those
students, based on CRCT math and reading scores,
which did not necessarily need extra help with
those areas. This past year I used this form of
PowerPoint to discuss the social studies current
affairs that was happening at the time. This
Jeopardy game was useful in covering the
presidential election that was the forefront of
news coverage. This type of game is useful for
not only the learning that is involved, but also
for the students to work and discuss together
ideas to come to the collective answer. The
students were not able to pick their own groups,
but were placed in groups so that everyone would
benefit. It might be hard to use this exact
PowerPoint next year in that the election would
not be a current affair, but it still might
benefit the students understanding various
topics they may have heard during the election
coverage. To change the answers as Jeopardy
calls them, and alter information presented would
be a simple and useful task. I would not have to
create a new PowerPoint Jeopardy game to explore
new current affairs topics, but instead replace
the information on the slides and then save as a
new PowerPoint game.
