English Levels Challenge
Learning Objective: Students will use their background knowledge of standards learned
and apply it to justify their steps prove their answers correctly with appropriate sources
learned in class. They will also use analytical language and vocabulary to communicate to
one another.
Challenge Expectations:
1) Every group starts with level 1 (MORTAL) and everyone in the group must
understand the problem otherwise your grade will drop.
(If you are stuck then ask each other for help, use your notes, books, handouts or any
other resources before checking with Ms. Peraza).
2)
When you are done with your challenge, one person from your group will quietly
raise your hand and wait for me to go over and check your answer. (On occasion I
may tell you to get the next level before I have a chance to come over, but you must
wait for me to give you the okay).
3) When Ms. Peraza has checked your group’s response and it’s correct, a different
person will pick up the next level.
4) Continue this process until you become an OLYMPIAN! Good luck becoming an
English GOD or GODDESS and preparing for next week’s midterm. 
