Dear all,,It is that time of the year.. when in Jr high and high school (for those not yet into bagrut) we still have to try and teach our pupils.. while our pupils are more interested in the upcoming vacation and many of them are already.. dreaming of the beach !! So. how do we keep their interest ? Well. I have unearthed a lovely book.. (maybe some of you remember it ..) called Jr. Files ( #1) put out by UPP. What it has in it is some great TRIVIA questions (and answers).. Now in each lesson in my 9th grade class I ask the pupils 10 to 15 Trivia questions and in about 2 weeks we are going to have a Trivia competition.. based on the questions asked and answered . It's really fun ( so far the kids have enjoyed it and learned a lot of interesting facts) . and it helps me keep them learning until the end.. You don't have to use this book . I'm sure there are lots of Trivia questions online.. I hope this helps some of you !!
