My 5th grade students produce a TRIAD project every year. They choose a topic to research, write a 5-8 page paper on their topic, contact and interview experts in that field, turn their research paper into a speech, and create a PowerPoint presentation to enhance their speech. Before we begin this process we talk extensively about the writing process. After several classroom lessons on both the writing process and research writing, we played Jeopardy as a review.
To create a Jeopardy game board, I went to Cool Tools for Schools and went to http://jeopardylabs.com/. This site had a great Jeopardy game already created for writing which I used. I later created other Jeopardy games having to do with other aspects of the TRIAD process (ie: producing PowerPoints, interviewing, researching techniques, etc.).
We modified the game using the Promethean clickers so that teams could buz in. The students had a blast with it once they learned to phrase their answers in the form of a question.
