Jason Eifling replied to Kristi Barber's discussion Class Competition Revisited in the group Middle School Social Studies"Very cool. I tried this when covering ancient Greece, but I failed in the long run. I had students get in groups and each represented a city-state for the "Olympics." I just couldn't keep up with grading and keeping…"
Lisa Morowski replied to Kristi Barber's discussion Class Competition Revisited in the group Middle School Social Studies"Thanks Kristi!
