Published April 18, 2012
“Flight to Freedom,” players take on the role of Lucy, a 14-year-old slave in Kentucky. As they navigate her escape and journey to Ohio, they discover that life in the “free” North is dangerous and difficult. In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act brings disaster. Will Lucy ever truly be free?
Solving Inequalities Review Bingo Game
Published March 28, 2012
This is a BINGO game about inequalities. Students answer each question on paper and mark off the answer they found if it appears on their BINGO card. Students open Smart Notebook file and create their own bingo card given the answers from page 2 of the Notebook file. (I use split screen to drag and drop items into the table boxes to change the sample card). I then play the Powerpoint as a slide show and pull out numbers from a box (ignoring the letters altogether) to select the question. Students write the question down with their answer then find the answer on their card (if chosen) and mark it off with the pen or highlighter from Notebook. Play game until bingo or until top 5.
