Rules for Blitz, Round One:
- With a timer running, all students will stand up and then the teacher calls on each student with a definition/word and the student responds. If the student gets it right, they get an A and sit down. If the student gets it wrong, they stay standing. The teacher will come back to the student after questioning all students, if the student gets it right this time, they get a C and sit down, if they get it wrong a second time, they get an F, and sit down.
- The grade for the week is averaged from every day that week and put in as a grade for Bio Blitz for that week.
