Teaching Tip: The Homework Game

By: Steve, 9th Grade Science Teacher

I had trouble getting my students to particpate in homework/class work reviews, so I created this game. 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.

Jokes You Can Tell in Class


Everyone knows I´m a stickler for good spelling. So when an associate e-mailed technical documents asking me to “decifer” them, I had to set him straight.

“Decipher is spelled with a ´ph´, not an ´f',” I wrote. “In case you've forgotten, spell checker comes free with your Word Processing program.”

A minute later his reply: “Must be dephective.”
