For best results, teachers should use a digital projector to display the “Who wants to be a Millionaire” powerpoint game on to a large screen.  Audio speakers are also recommended (computer speakers are okay).  The students should be rewarded for achieving the $1000, $32,000, and $1,000,000 levels (ie. Candy, or extra credit on test).  The teacher can pre-select an order in which the students will be asked a question.  The students can answer the question on their own, or use one of the classes 3 “life-lines”.  The 3 “life-lines” are phone-a-friend (student can select a classmate to get help with the question), ask the audience (the entire class is asked to contribute an answer), and 50/50 (teacher eliminates 2 wrong answers).

 

Assessment:

Students will be assessed with a unit test.
