Class Games- Jeopardy

In my blog "Classroom Environment" I commented on how sometimes, in my English 102 class, we play games to help learn about, and better understand stories we have read. I always try my best to participate in games because if I do I have a better shot of learning more and receiving more extra credit points on our essays. So far, the games I remember the most are taboo, an unnamed (at least I don't remember a name) discussion game, and Jeopardy. For me, the most beneficial game we have played is Jeopardy.  It is set up so each category is a different story we have read. It is really nice because if there were aspects from something we read that I did not quite understand, I usually understood it after we played Jeopardy. What I also enjoy about playing Jeopardy is that more often than not, the questions asked are not just simple questions that require one or two word answers. They are usually thought provoking, discussion questions that I can really learn from.
