Test Prep and French Power!

Today in History we played a review game because we have a test next week. On Monday, the professor gave us a study guide and told us to look over it for the game. Today, we made groups and competed in a quiz show type of game.  The professor read us the question, and we had to raise our hand first to answer and gain a point. However, if we had the wrong answer, we would lose a point!

Elsa, Keisuke and I were a team.  We called ourselves the Napoleons (Elsa's idea!). We started out rough, but soon enough we were on a roll!  Elsa knew a lot of the questions and she got us in the lead! We had our usual class break and when we started up again, the professor said we couldn't use our notes anymore, but that there was no more wrong answer penalty. As we played on, I helped keep us in the lead.  The Napoleons won and we got a box of chocolates.  We split it among ourselves and class was over.

Professor Martinez is a really good teacher. I hate history, but he makes it interesting.  He's engaging and personal, objective and sincere. And he didn't leave the other teams just watching us get chocolate.  He bought smaller goody bags as "consolation prizes"so that everyone had chocolate. He's really good.
