QUIET WEEK
Everybody gets a slip with a person, place or concept. Do not show it to anyone.
If you don't know what it is, replace it with a new one from the basket.
Think about how you're going to respond to your partner's questions.
The 3 people with the most strips of paper at the end of the game win candy but only if they can summarize what the strips mean to the class at the end of the game.
If you don't know what it is, replace it with a new one from the basket.
Think about how you're going to respond to your partner's questions.
- Person, place or thing?
- What unit or topic is this person, place or thing from?
- Questions of your choice, as many as they like, until you either guess it or give up.
- Once you guess correctly, take the slip of paper and put it in your pocket.
- Get another slip of paper and start with a new partner.

MUSEUM PROJECT
Quiet Week Review Project
Each table group will get a broad topic (see list below) to cover. Your table is your "museum".
Your individual desk is your "exhibit".
An "element" is one of 4 items (see list below) that makes up your exhibit.
You will be graded individually, but should talk to your table group to make sure you don't repeat each other.
Each exhibit should contain at least four of the elements listed below. YOU CANNOT DO MORE THAN ONE OF EACH TYPE:
Pictures, collage, diorama, map, symbols, replica of art or artifacts, music, important quote, chart or graph, timeline, computer generated display, illustration, video, personal account from the time, poetry, food or drink item. If you think of something not on this list, check in with Mr. Butkevich before you do it.
