Jeopardy unit 29 - categorising learners' mistakes

By: Sandra Estrada GómezEsmeralda Gutierrez

There are 4 categories with 3 different amounts of points.

Read carefully every instruction on each question.

One member of the team will choose the category (he/she may receive help from team mates)and only he/she may answer.

Do not shout out the answer if you didn’t choose the category or the money goes to the next team.

You have one minute to answer(meanwhile the next team gets ready to answer, just incase!).

If the team answers incorrectly, the next team has an opportunity to answer the same question.

At the end, as a team, you can exchange your money for a surprise.
