How to Play
Participating in the 5 clue challenge is really easy.
If you are playing, simply pick a video and play it for your students. After each clue, pause the video so that students can do a little research. After the research, have each student take a guess. At the end of the fifth clue, students can see how quickly they got the correct answer. The larger our collection of videos grows, the more opportunity you'll have to expose your students to the world. If you'd like to use a points system, you can award 5 points for a correct guess after one clue, 4 points for a correct guess after the second clue, and so forth.
The real power in the 5 Clue Challenge is when your students create their own videos. We know that students remember content better when they teach it. When creating a video, try to start with more vague, general clues. After the first clue, there should be lots of possibilities. Each clue should narrow down the possible choices for the viewer. By the fifth clue, the answer should be obvious to anyone who has done a little research.
You can submit videos that you and your students create to me on the new site. After review, if they meet the guidelines for submission, I will include them in the collection.
