The following is all the information you received in class regarding The Game.
The
Game
The game is
a competition between all NON-DUAL CREDIT English 12 students. Every semester, the class that wins the game
will add five percentage points to the semester grade of those students. In addition, that class will be allowed the opportunity
to have a “party day.”
How It Works
Any student
in a particular period has the opportunity to win or lose points for their “team”
or class. Each class will have a
score-keeper who will be in charge of changing the number of points on the board
when requested. This is really a team
effort, so it’s important to motivate your classmates to help you win.
