Festivus Themed APUSH Review
I have not been writing as much lately because I am teaching AP US History for a few months. Tomorrow, Festivus, I have all three of my classes for 42 minutes. What better time for an airing of grievances!
I have created a Festivus-themed Quizzo-like review activity. There are historical figure grievances, an H&H Bagels round (New York City-themed questions), a Human Fund Round (questions about historical figures doing good things) and feats of strength (difficult tasks a team tries with the points available for other teams to steal).
Here are the slides and score sheet:
Festivus comes from Seinfeld. As much as I love the show, there are some jokes that are not funny today and should not have been considered so at the time. We have heard unflattering news reports about some cast members. I will address the fact that I am separating art from artist by choosing a Seinfeld-themed review activity.
I am also aware that my 10th-graders may not know or care about Seinfeld. It’s December 23rd, if what I’m doing amuses me more than my students, so be it if we’re taking an opportunity to review content.
How are you celebrating Festivus with your students?
