Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Let’s challenge ourselves to a Geography Bee!  This class is part of a series designed to have fun while reviewing human geography facts.  This geo bee (#2) focuses on landforms and the continent of Europe.  Class will begin with a review of 21 landform terms such as: mountain range, continent, plain, strait and taiga. To help students prepare, a handout is provided that includes maps of physical and political Europe plus a list of landform terms (with and without definitions) that are covered in our challenge.  Students can practice with the handouts if they want to be more competitive, before class begins. They can locate the example of each landform on the Europe map. We will begin class with a quick review of terms and locations, highlighting those that students have questions about.  
Students will participate in a Kahoot challenge that offers a choice of four possible answers to each question, along with a picture clue. Kahoot offers a game show format.  Questions include simple definitions, comparisons of similar terms, application questions and examples found in Europe.  This quiz is designed for students with a basic understanding of each landform type, as well as the map of Europe.  During the Kahoot, students will see the correct answer to each question immediately after each answer is tallied, allowing them to reinforce correct understanding.  
After our Kahoot quiz is completed we will review the more challenging terms as time allows.  Our contestants (students) will have approximately four opportunities to work with landform vocabulary and the map of Europe, reinforcing learning through repetition in a variety of formats.  Students will receive a certificate of accomplishment that recognizes completion of the class and their Kahoot results.

Parental Guidance
This does not apply to the material being covered in class. Students should be able to handle competition, gracefully. Our goal is to learn and have fun.
Supply List
Handouts are attached to this lesson for our learners to use in preparing for this  Kahoot challenge, and to support the class review.
Students should have two screens for the kahoot game quiz, if possible.  The device normally used for online classes will display the questions and choices through Outschool.  A smart phone or tablet will serve as the second device, used as the response controller.  Using this second device, learners will sign in to www.kahoot.it, enter the PIN number provided in class (after review of terms)  and then they are ready to play our Kahoot.  If a second device is not available to enter answers, students can participate with a simple paper & pencil, and keep their own tally of results.
