How was the answer form? Did you prefer it to the commenting on post?
Answers
- Yes you can pick any monster except Ed Gein. It is up to you to explain and define the monster.
- If you want feedback on an email please email it to me with Feedback please in the subject line. Send me a word doc.
- Investigate your monster to find either the causes or effects. You need more than one.
Jeopardy! Game Board
- Pick a monster or category of monster.
- Come up with three relevant categories and arrange them from most to least interesting.
- Write five facts about each topic, in increasing order of difficulty. From common knowledge to specific and advanced knowledge.
Pick two categories from:
- Monsters
- Monster Theory
- Movie Monsters
- Causal Relationships
- Serial Killers
- Other ?
Third category is your monster.
For instance, say the category is “Monsters.” The easiest clue might be, “Something that is big, ugly, and frightening. The answer, phrased as a question, would be, “What is the definition of a monster?”
For instance, say the category is oil and natural gas “fracking.” The easiest clue might be, “This is the technical name for ‘fracking.’ ” The answer, phrased as a question, would be, “What is hydraulic fracturing?”
A much more difficult clue might be, “The presence of this gas has been linked to flammable drinking water near fracking sites.” The answer, phrased as a question, would be, “What is methane gas?”
The progression from general to specific, easy to advanced, should help you see that any issue has many lines of cause and effect to be investigated. We want to make more complex and interesting lines of inquiry.
Type up your answers and questions into a word doc and submit on canvas. I will work on making this into a game we can all play.
I made a Google Sheets Template you can use.

• Using the answer form was much easier and convenient- it made me feel more engaged and certain I was getting credit and answering everything I’m supposed to as if I was physically in class. I prefer the answer form over commenting, it gets a bit confusing switching back & forth from my Word Document and the class website to answer the questions and quick writes. I also get confused and am not sure if some questions on the lessons are just to get us to think, or if I’m supposed to answer them.

The answer form provided was nice and convenient to do my work on. It allowed me to stay on task by following along with the reading. If I wasn’t sure about an answer it was easy to jump back and forth between the reading material and form sheet. I never lost my place compared to posting a comment. The form was overall easier to navigate through versus posting a comment. Also, it was able to double check my work easier. For example , I missed a box without evening knowing it and After double checking I realize I needed to provide my answer. If I did this during a post I would of probably missed a point.
Thank you again for making it.

Quickwrite: Thank you for asking for feedback here and on the lecture. I enjoyed the google form, feeling like I was not missing as much answering the questions individually but, I do prefer the reassurance of being able to see that I posted when it pops up on the page.

I thought the answer form was interesting as it was something we have never done before, but I do prefer commenting on the lesson as I could also see what others are thinking about a lesson and possibly learn something new that I did not even think about myself.

I thought the answer form really helped to guide us what we needed to do. It was new but also this whole situation is new. To me personally new is always better. I liked the whole commenting thing but for those who want to do personal email this is great for them as we don’t see it and only you can

I really liked the answer form! It was easy to complete and very accessible. I prefer answering the questions through the answer form rather than leaving a reply on each post.
Commenting on a post is more confusing, and it is harder to answer each quickwrite or question because there are so many. However, the answer form was simple and I liked the structure to it.

The Monster Jeopardy is definitely a nice break from the usual lesson responses. I don’t know if I prefer it to the original responses, as those are more straight to the point, but it would be nice if we can get more assignments like this occasionally. I appreciate the extra effort to make things more fun and engaging!!

I did like the answer form, and found it easier to use. I find it easier to answer a Specific question and stay focused on answering that question especially in the form format. I do prefer filling out the form rather than commenting on the post. The form gives structure. And confirmation that the task is done once all the fields are complete.
