I randomly choose one student, before we start the review. This student then chooses who answers each question throughout the review. He/She can not choose the same person twice throughout the review. Which usually means, that each student has to answer one question. As a class they are allowed to get three wrong. If they get four wrong (as a class), they don't get the prize. The prize usually is 5 points extra on everyone´s homework grade. You can´t believe how effective this has been. They even study together before the reviews now! This Week in History 1794: The first US patent is issued (riveting machine). 1903: The Wright Brothers obtain an airplane patent.
