This is like Jeopardy because there are categories with 5 questions worth $100
- $500 each.
There is one difference, you will not have to answer in the form of a question.
The question is posed to you and you need to give an answer. DO NOT GIVE
YOUR ANSWER AS A QUESTION.
Your team agrees on one category and amount. The group’s announcer will tell
the teacher which your group has agreed on. (ie. Properties for $300)
Your team will be given time to discuss an answer then the group’s announcer
will tell the answer to the teacher.
If your group’s answer is correct your group will earn the money.
Then it moves to the next group’s turn.
When your group has chosen a Daily Double, a cheer will sound. If your team
answers the question correctly, your team will earn double the points for that
question.
After time is up, we will go to the Final Jeopardy round. Directions will be
given at that time!
