Objective: The students will read and demonstrate comprehension of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone through identifying important details and elements of literature (such as character, plot, setting, and theme) by playing a game.

Anticipatory Set: This activity will help the students in collecting and organizing relevant information in order to construct a computer-generated report.

Pre-skill: Students have read and reviewed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Materials: Copy of the Harry Potter book (1/student), student notes, PowerPoint jeopardy activity with accompanying computer for teacher and screen/monitor for students to see

Model/Delivering Instruction: The teacher will review all major points of the book covered so far and then introduce the Jeopardy activity. The teacher will model how the answer will come up on the screen and how the students are to respond with a question.

Lead/Guided Practice: The teacher will divide the students up into two teams. The teacher will do a practice item with the students.

Test/Independent Practice: The teams will take turns answering questions. Correct answers are recorded for points. The team that wins will receive a free homework pass. See PowerPoint Example: http://edpsych.ed.sc.edu/caw/harrypotter/gamequiz/index.htm

Assessment: This activity is actually an assessment within itself. However, the students will also be tested (informally) throughout the unit on the same kinds of questions to promote memory and knowledge of the story. The students will be assessed at the end of the unit by writing a report on the book.

Accommodations: The students can share notes to determine answers. The questions will be read aloud as well as the students will be provided with a copy of the PowerPoint presentation. The students with hearing and visual impairments will be seated closer to the screen/monitor.
