It should be used to after teaching a concept or once the chapter us completed and should be preferably done in small groups(3 to 4)
How to use SHOWDOWN?
- Students in groups of 3 or 4 would receive some task cards with specific problems from the chapter they are learning about.
- Team leader of the group picks up the card and reads the sentence in it aloud without showing it to the others.
- Other team members write the answers on their paper or chalkboards. When the teacher gives showdown signal, all team members will reveal their responses at once.
- If everyone gets the same answer they can assume the answer is correct. If not- all members need to discuss to see if someone did something wrong and help that student to see what they did wrong.
- For the next task card, a different student on the team becomes the leader.
- The teacher should monitor the activity and make sure students are getting correct answers.
