To help them review for the test, the students participated in a word carousel review game today. In this activity the teacher uses Super Sticky Notes and places them around the room:
We put up seven and titled them with the topics they have been learning about:
History of the Middle East
Geography of the Middle East
Social Issues in the Middle East
Middle Eastern Economics
Christianity
Islam
Judaism
The students were split into seven groups and got 30 seconds at each Super Sticky Note to put down any words or ideas that they could think of about each topic.
Once they got back to their original Sticky they circled the best 7 words. Then they made a sentence out of those words to summarize that topic. The best sentence (chosen by myself and Mr. Dorray) won that team a prize (candy).
This was a pretty fun activity and it was very interesting to see how well each group did, and what topics the students had problems with.

Sounds fun! Now I'm curious what the best sentence was.
There were a few good ones. A lot of the groups that had the best sentences were the ones with the religions and were able to mention the important people, holidays, symbols (these were loooong sentences :)
