Assignment #12
Layout Game
Due Date: October 8
This is sort of like Bingo, but in teams, and drawn as a chart on the board.
Instructions
- I will assign students to four teams.
- Each team comes up with a team name.
- Each team will get a large batch of printed pieces from the morgue file.
- I will draw a chart on the board with four rows and eight columns. This will create 32 large open squares.
- Each team will get a row. I will write a team name to the left of each row.
- Each column will have a tip from the layout page written above it.
- When I say "GO!" each team tries to find one printed piece for each tip. You should be prepared to explain how the piece demonstrates what the tip recommends.
- When you find a piece, come to the board and stick it in the correct box in the chart with blue sticky gum (I will provide this gum.)
- The first team who fills in all eight of the columns yells "BINGO!" and game play stops.
- I will choose random speakers from this team. I will ask them to explain how each piece they displayed demonstrates the tip for the column it is in.
- If the team cannot give a convincing explanation for a piece, the piece will be taken down and game play continues.
- The winning team will be the first to convincingly support the display of each piece in thier row.
Scoring
- Each student who participates gets full credit for the day (10 points.)
- Each member of the winning team gets 5 points extra credit.
- Students who do not participate earn no points for the day.
Alternate Instructions for Absent Students
- If you have "free time" in class, or if you arrange with me to come after school, you can complete this using our morgue file. Otherwise, find printed pieces at home.
- Find five printed pieces, each of which demonstrates one of the many layout tips in the green column on the left.
- Do not repeat a tip.
- Paperclip the printed pieces to a sheet of notebook paper.
- On the notebook paper, write your name.
- Make a large chart with five rows and two columns.
- On the left side of the chart, describe each printed piece.
- On the right, briefly describe how the piece demonstrates one of the layout tips.
