There is no limit to the number of players. The first player turns over a card and, if they can give the correct definition (players must agree), the current player gets to turn over another card, hoping for a match. If the cards do not match, both cards are turned back over and the next player repeats the steps.</p> <p>The second set of cards, with the word and definition, are available to confirm whether the definition is correct. Both players must agree that the definition is correct (even if the words given by the player do not exactly match the ones on the card). </p> <p>Players take turns until all cards have been matched. A small reward can be given to the winner, or points awarded that can be saved for future redemption.</p> http://www.classroomprep.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5 <p>TRY THIS ACTIVITY FOR TEACHING ESSAY PROOFING</p> <ol><li>Share with students the grading system used by the&nbsp;educators scoring the essay on the SAT. </li><li>Make sure students understand the scoring rubric. </li><li>Share with them essays reflecting the different scores. </li><li>Discuss what elements in the essay reflect the score it was&nbsp;given-sentence structure,vocabulary,and introduction. </li><li>When they have gone over teh various components - have them write an essay. </li><li>Students use the rubric to score their own papers. </li><li>Discuss with students the scores they have their papers. </li><li>Rewrite the papers making the necessary changes.</li></ol>
