| === The Script ===
| |
|
| |
| This game is a learning exercise for Stacks & Queues in a CS2 level class. The questions are kept at an abstract level.<br />
| |
| It is based on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! The only difference is that our game allows for competition between groups<br />
| |
| composed of three or less students, but the final Million Dollar Question is a collaborative effort amongst all groups.<br />
| |
| If the Million Dollar Question is answered correctly, then Dr. Gehringer has to pay up.<br />
| |
|
| |
| The Process:
| |
|
| |
| Step 1: <blockquote> The class divides into groups of three consisting of people from the same row.</blockquote><br />
| |
| Step 2: When the game starts the last row is called upon for question #1.<br />
| |
| Every group from this row is allowed to raise their hand, whoever raises their hand<br />
| |
| first gets to answer the question.<br />
| |
| Step 3: After each question is attempted (answered right or wrong), the next row's groups compete to answer the next question.<br />
