QUIZ BEE: Boards up!

             I am very used to quiz bees in group but when I heard that we will be having one, I still felt excited and pump up. I thought that at least I am not the only one who will think. I have my group mates to help me.

           Quiz bee is often done to test the learning of students. I think it is an effective way of assessing students because:

1. It involves group dynamics and therefore, it promotes camaraderie.

2. Students can enjoy the assessment.

3. It has a time limit so the teacher can also test the speed and accuracy of answers.

4. Everyone can contribute and be monitored by the teacher.

           

            We also encountered problems like we don’t know the answer and we have limited time to think. Before raising our board, we asked each other if they agree with our final answer. Anyone can give and they are being considered. If majority wants it, we are confident to show our answers. If there are any conflicts about the answers, we settle it with votes.

            Listening to everyone’s opinion is very important. Some people are just shy to tell the answer even if they are certain about it. That is why it is important to ask them and hear their thoughts.
