Family Activity: Making up Questions for the Final Exam

I want each of the two families listed below to come up with SIX short-answer questions for the final exam, drawing from anything we have covered since the beginning of the term. Remember to focus only on things covered in class, along with some notes I posted on this blog. This is especially important in terms of the selections in the Reader. You obviously have plenty of material to work with. One other thing you should keep in mind as you compose your questions and that is you should provide some context for each question. For example, if you ask something about one of the selctions in the Reader, you should at least identify which selection the question pertains to. By short-answer, I mean questions that can be answered simply and directly in a word, phrase, or at most, a couple sentences. I DO NOT WANT OPEN-ENDED, OPINION QUESTIONS. ALSO, NO TRUE-FALSE, NO MULTIPLE CHOICE EITHER. But I will accept fill-in-the-blank. I will give you some time in clas next Tuesday 5/3 to get organized and perhaps even begin discussing some possible questions. Remember, this is a JOINT effort; I want each family to agree on the six best questions you can come up with and submit them. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT SIX QUESTIONS FROM EACH FAMILY, AND NOT SEPARATE QUESTIONS FROM INDIVIDUAL FAMILY MEMBERS. I will also give you some more class time on the following Tuesday, 5/10, to discuss this further and hopefully arrive at the questions (AND ANSWERS) you want to submit. I then want each family to submit in writing or via email (NOT ON THE BLOG) your six proposed questions and answers NO LATER THAN THURSDAY, MAY 12TH, BY 4PM. I will then consider the submitted questions and select at least THREE questions from each family for inclusion on the final exam, and for each additional question I accept, that family will earn a bonus point and also have the advantage of knowing more of the questions on the exam. I will then post the accepted questions and answers on this blog no later than MONDAY, MAY 16TH AT 4PM, so you will have them in plenty of time to study for our final exam, which is scheduled for THURSDAY, MAY 19TH FROM 2-5PM. Each PARTICIPATING family member will earn 20 activity points for this exercise, plus whatever bonus points you might earn.

FAMILIES: (1) Tramaine, Michael, Brianna
