Everything+I+Needed+To+Know...+I+Learned+in+My+World+Languages+Class

We have created this Wiki page in order to facilitate the collection of your contributions to "the game." The deadline for contributions is Wednesday, April 1st.

We gave last year's version of the game a good ol' dose of Botox, but not an entire face-lift.

1. We decided to get rid of "level of difficulty" questions. Instead, the game will be played in two stages: the first stage with a couple of more "whimsical" categories to ease the students into the game, the second stage with topics that tend to be a bit harder for high school students. 2. We have a total of eight categories (four in each round) and they are as follows:

Round 1: Sports, MBS International, Authors/Literature, History Round 2: Gastronomy, Artists, Catchphrases, City-Hopping

3. Andrea, Pat and I (Sara) will be coming up with additional "Daily-Double" Questions. These will be bonus multi-media (images, sound files, etc.) that will come up intermittently throughout the game.

We are going to ask each department member to help us fill the 25 questions-per-category (and, of course, if you'd like to be recognized for your wonderful contributions, you're more than welcome to leave your initials next to your question). We figured the Wiki would be an ideal space for this. Thank you so much for your help!

//This looks great. But what do you mean by MBS International? Could we have some sample answers to help fill out the categories? jt

JT: Actually, this is a topic I am going to research more thoroughly; I was speaking with Dr. Curtis yesterday and by chance the topic of MBS in the international arena came up. I'll be back in touch soon. In the meantime, anything you know about any international "footprint" our school has had or plans to have. Take a look at the questions I've posted in the appropriate category below. pg//

US- The MS already has games and recycles old games. I do not want to hold them responsible for adding questions to our game. We already have games that have some of these questions. They were done in prior years. Let's look through what we have before we reinvent the wheel. vl
