What is the chemical formula for photosynthesis? 
What are purposes of plant sugars?

東京理科大学 A英1: Final review game board exam instructions review・期末テスト「ボードゲーム」の説明レビュー

Happy New Year!

 

How are you? I hope you had a great New Year's break! 

Today I will post here a review of the instructions (説明) about our final review exam. As I've said in class, it will be in the form of a board game. We will play this on our final class meeting on January 28th (1/28).

It's the same board game you played in the review exam in July - but now with some different questions from the textbook!

I hope once again that this is an interesting way to take a test for all of you! 

Instructions

First - like before, this is what the board will look like. It will be on A3-sized paper:

You will notice 14 playing squares - seven (7) black squares, and seven (7) white squares, with the start square and the goal in gray. This board will be for the two (2) game pieces that two (2) players will play on. 

The 14 squares will be for the questions that both players will ask each other. The arrows show the directions the players will move their game pieces around on when they answer the questions correctly.

Now let's review the steps in the board game!

Here is what the score sheet looks like (It's small on the scan shot, but you'll see it more clearly on paper next week!): 

As before, you will see that there are spaces for three (3) "makeup" (補講) questions. 

As you play with your partner, if your partner's score is not so high after the seven (7) questions, you will see four (4) extra questions. You can choose up to three (3) of these "makeup" questions to ask your partner. 

Special note: Only do these extra three (3) questions if your partner hasn't been doing well. If your partner has been scoring well - you don't need to ask these questions! 

This can give your partner some more chances to raise up a higher score on the test. 

I hope this is okay for all of you! Take a look at these steps - look at them as many times as you want or need. We'll play this next week (1/28) in our last class for the review exam!

So good luck! See you next week!

Hello!

How are you? As I mentioned in class today, here are some review questions for all of you for next week's (7/30) board game review test. 

Before anything - I owe all of you an apology. I overlooked doing Unit 5 about the Industrial Revolution - and I do not know why! It was an oversight on my part, and that's all. So you do not have to review anything from Unit 5. We'll do this one from the second part of our year in September! 

In addition - I mentioned that the review would be a 100-point test. This is also my mistake -  it will be worth a maximum of 50 points. I'm very sorry about that!

Where did the Nuu-chah-nulth people originally live? 

Which First Nations people's totem poles did Alessandro Malaspina discover?

I hope this will be an interesting way to take a test for all of you! 

Instructions

I wasn't sure what the best way was to show you how to play this game - so I wrote out the instructions by hand and scanned them, then uploaded them here. This is (I hope!) a way to save time and paper, and something you could look at anytime on your Smartphone.

First - this is what the board will look like. It will be on A3-sized paper:

You will notice 14 playing squares - seven (7) black squares, and seven (7) white squares, with the start square and the goal in gray. This board will be for the two (2) game pieces that two (2) players will play on. 

The 14 squares will be for the questions that both players will ask each other. The arrows show the directions the players will move their game pieces around on when they answer the questions correctly.

Now let's take a look at the steps in the board game!

Here is what the score sheet looks like: 

(It's small on the scan shot, but you'll see it more clearly on paper next week!)

I hope this is okay for all of you! Take a look at these steps - look at them as many times as you want or need. We'll play this next week (7/30) in our last class for the review exam!

See you then!
