Meet Scooter

The Cross Curricular Board Game


Brought to You By: Ms. Fletcher and Mrs. Stoup

What is Meet Scooter?


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.
