Procedure

Divide yourself into four groups

Each group will have one dry erase board to
write down their answers
We will rotate which group picks the question
(picking the question is not based on who
answers correctly first)
Every group will answer every question
Scores will be totaled after all the questions
and teams will place a wager for the FINAL
JEOPARDY question
