Test Quest Continues!


Here's a detailed explanation of how a class operates:

When students come into class, they pick up their character sheet.  They also take out their review homework from the night before.  I stroll about the room with a stamp to mark the students' character sheets if they completed the assignment.  These stamps count towards achievments they can earn.

After a debreifing of the homework, I give the students a ten question, multiple choice, mini-quiz.  After they've completed this quiz, I have them raise up a lettered card to show which answers they got for which question.  This allows me to quickly count the total number of correct responses.

This is where it gets fun. Every day I draw a different type of monster on the whiteboard.  The monster starts with an amount of hit points that are related to its "challenge level" and how many students are in the room.  The students' hit points are related to their own average level, how many students there are, and the average number of correct responses on the mini-quiz.  I have spreadsheets set up with formulas to track all of this information.


Then we do battle!
