FAMILY ACTIVITY: MAKING UP QUESTIONS FOR THE MIDTERM EXAM

For this next family exercise I want each of the families (which I list at the bottom of this post in case you forgot which family you are a member of) to come up with FIVE short-answer questions (and answers) from anything we've covered in class, in the reading, and on the blog from the beginning of the term. Remember, as I noted in class, by short-answer I do NOT mean true-false or multiple-choice, but fill-in-the-blank is ok. This is an exercise designed to put yourself in my shoes and ask yourself what important points you would ask about on this midterm exam if you were teaching this class. I will give the families some time to confer about this on both Tuesday, March 16th and Thursday, March 18th, next week. I would then like a representative from each family to submit your family's FIVE questions (and answers) to me via email or drop off a hard copy NO LATER THAN 3PM THURSDAY, MARCH 18TH. I will then read through them and select at least THREE questions from each family. For each additional question I select, that family will earn a bonus point, so it is possible you may earn up to two bonus points for this exercise. I will, then, post the questions and answers I selected on this blog BY 2PM FRIDAY, MARCH 19TH, so you will have them to study from for the midterm exam which is scheduled for Tuesday, March 23rd. This exercise is worth 5 activity points, with bonus points possible, for all PARTICIPATING family members.

LET ME UNDERSCORE ONE MORE TIME THAT I WILL NEED THOSE QUESTIONS (AND ANSWERS) NO LATER THAN 3PM ON THURSDAY, THE 18TH.

FAMILIES:

Black Family: Sami, Cindy, Katie, Cameron
