Operation Rocky--You Vs. The Test! First things first, you must hype of this exercise! You have to sell it! More on this below.
The goal of this project is for students to train for their big upcoming fight (the state test). To do this they must go through daily fights via daily 2-4 question quizzes.
Each day you will give a lecture about an upcoming topic for their state test, at the end of the class each student will take a 2-4 question quiz with a picture of the guy they are fighting for that day. At the end of class, you tally of the grades and mark on a poster if the student won or loss with tally marks
How to plan:
You might not have enough time to re-cover every topic on the test, so pick the top 5-10.
How to introduce the project and make it successful
This is huge! Your kids should be pumped to take on these quizzes, how do you do this?
1st Go out and buy the Rocky soundtrack or at least the theme song and play it everyday during this exercise.
2nd Have students come up with their own fight name Mr. "Mountain-do-the-Dew" Dyke!
3rd Have posters made listing each students name and their fight name with two columns wins and losses
4th Each quiz should have a pic of who they are fighting
5th Play Rocky during the quizzes
6th Say corny of cliché things to get them pumped up like "its you vs. the quiz", "you can do this", "let's see what you got"
7th There is a powerpoint in "math downloads"
Finally, just to give you an overall idea, i would walk around the class punching kids in the arm, allowing kids to punch their quizzes, screaming "Are YOU READY!", doing pushups, jogging in place screaming "we won't go down without a fight". For most this is too over the top
One thing i would redo, is to allow rematches for each quiz
