Assessment Game iMovie
Directions: 1. Pause after each question to allow for answering time and after each answer for time to color. 2. Each group will get a question and have a chance to answer 3. If they answer correctly, they will color a country to symbolize that they colonized it 4. If they answer incorrectly, the question is posed to the next group, who gets the same opportunity 5. If the question is posed to all groups and none answer correctly, the country is independent and not colored in. 6. In the event of a tie, both groups will write down a question. The question will be approved by the teacher(s) and passed on to the corresponding group. 7. If both groups get the questions right or both get them wrong, rounds continue until only one group answers correctly.
