In the first half of the class students will learn the names of the countries of South America. They will learn major geographical facts about each one. Students will identify each on a map.  The second half of the class will be a jeopardy type game where students can apply the knowledge they have gained, using notes they have taken during class. 
During the first part of the class students will have the opportunity to contribute their own knowledge, when we complete a KWL chart. They will be encouraged to take notes, which they can use during the game. Questions and answers are employed to encourage student participation in the lecture portion of the class. During the Jeopardy game students will take turns choosing and answering the category questions. Scores will be tallied by the teacher and the student with the most points at the end of the game announced. All students will be congratulated for their efforts.
