This document describes a cross-curricular board game called "Meet Scooter" designed for a Senior AP English class. The game incorporates questions testing knowledge from English, History, Math, Science, and Music for students to answer in order to earn pieces of a code to input into a Finch robot. Answering questions correctly about topics like the JFK Inauguration Speech, the galaxy, and solving linear equations earns students pieces of the code. The first student to input the full code wins bonus points. The game aims to have students apply concepts from different classes into one interactive lesson using the robot.

This is a cross-curricular board game designed for the Senior AP English class. Students will be asked to incorporate their knowledge of English, History, Math, Science, and Music into one activity. Each question answered correctly earns the student another piece of the code to input into Scooter. They will be answering questions based on the JFK Inauguration Speech, scientific questions about the galaxy, and the solving of simple linear equations or inequalities. The game will also prompt them to create a short tune using the robot. The student who gets all pieces of the code first wins bonus points for a future assignment.
Why is Meet Scooter Important?
We believe that students should be able to take what theyve learned in one class and remember it in another class. Using the Finch Robot is a fun and constructive way to get our students thinking and applying concepts from outside of the English classroom into one interactive lesson.
