Family Activity: Making Up Questions for the Final Exam

Beginning in class tomorrow (Thursday, 4/23), I want each family start the process of developing questions for the final exam. Put yourselves in my shoes and consider what you believe is important to know about Dr. King, what you would ask if you were making up a final exam for this class. Specifically, I want each family to make up 5 SHORT-ANSWER questions on anything covered in the class. Use your class notes as a guide. By short-answer I mean direct questions that can be answered by a word or concept, a phrase or sentence, or, at most, a paragraph. NO true-false or mulitple-choice. Students who have had me before may serve as a guide for those who have not had me.
Once your family has come to some agreement on 5 questions, then designate a family member to submit your questions (and answers) to me in writing or via email NO LATER THAN MONDAY, MAY 4th. I will, then, consider them and try to accept at least 3 questions from each family. For each additional question I accept you will earn a bonus point, so you may earn up to 2 bonus points. This exercise is worth 15 points, and you must participate to earn those points.

The following are the families (slightly altered from when we chose them back in February):

RED FAMILY: Tramaine, Jeremy, Tomas, St. Claire

GREEN FAMILY: Ben, Lewis, Jessica H., Megan

BLUE FAMILY: Jessica O., Kristin, Frank

See you tomorrow, and don't forget to post your response to the video we saw last Thursday.
