summary |
I like to start the first day of class with an icebreaker for students to get to know each other. My ENG 102 class is centered around pop culture, so I decided to ask questions to test pop culture literacy. The sheet also serves as a contact sheet for students should they need to contact a classmate. |
details |
I start the class as a game show and issue nametags. I tempt my students with a fabulous prize if they are the first to complete the pop culture bingo card. Once students receive the bingo card, they move around the room and try to find people who know the answers to the questions. When they find someone who knows the answer, they need to have each student sign their sheet and provide either a phone number or e-mail address. Students can not use the same name twice or provide answers on their own sheet. Once a student has a complete card, I check the answers. If the answers are incorrect or incomplete, I look away disgustedly and ask for another card. Once answers have been verified by me, the student gets to pick between prize A and B, which I have in a box. Usually students will start to yell out which choice the student should pick, which just adds to the excitement. This year's prizes? Rice-a Roni-and Ramen Noodles. It was a huge success and it sets the tone for the rest of the semester, minus the Rice-a-Roni. Note!
