Today, we are playing the game, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
As you come into the classroom today, pick a post-it note and write a number on it from 1-20 in the order of people coming in.
We'll do a lottery (one student will choose a number from 1-20), and the person who wins is selected to become a millionaire: You'll get 10 comic slides with grammar mistakes in them to be displayed on the Smartboard, and you have to find the mistakes in front of the class. The good thing is, you have three JOKERS:
1) you can ask the audience (everyone gets a sheet of paper, and each individual student will write the answer he/she thinks is right on it in fat letters).
2) you can call someone you know on your cell phone, read the text to him/her, and get the answer this way.
3) you can ask the instructor ONE question of the following:
a) Which speech bubble is the mistake in?
b) What kind of category is the mistake?
For each right answer you give, you receive one piece of candy. If you give a wrong answer, you're out, and the person with the lottery number following immediately yours will get to take your place. You are allowed to keep the candy you have already won up to the point where you made the mistake. If you get all 10 questions right, you're the candy millionaire of ENGL300 ;-)
Here is the link to the slide show of 20 comics with grammar mistakes.
We can play the game twice.
