Mr. Herrera
How it works
 Each team will get a white board that they will be
responsible for (follow the rules for using whiteboards!)
 There will be a series of questions about ancient Greece.
Hope you’ve been paying attention!
The rules of the game…
 If you abuse the whiteboard, you lose the whiteboard
 Write only answers on the whiteboard
 Control the markers—they’re only for the whiteboards
 Rotate the whiteboards each round. Everyone will write
answers.
The rules of the game…(cont.)
 Spelling Counts!
 If I can’t read it, I can’t give you credit
 I cannot accept an answer unless your team is quiet
 Any talking out, cheating, or rude comments will result in
loss of points for your team
 Bottom Line: If you abuse the whiteboard, you lose the
whiteboard = Game Over
