EOC Week three: Jeopardy

To come up with questions for a jeopardy game is very challenging. It takes some deep thought and process to think of ways for people to be able to understand the statements and answer them correctly. The game itself takes a lot of knowledge to know because the competitor will have to know the meaning and answer it as a question. I am carefully picking out the vocabulary words first, that I would like to use in my game. I’m trying to form them into categories while doing so. I say that grouping the words together is a bit difficult because not all the words will match up in the same group. I then am going to look at the definitions and come up with statements that someone will understand to be able choose the right word for. I don’t want to trick the person, so I won’t put part of the answer in the question. The statements I came up with for U.S Patent and Trademark office (USPTO) is, this company is responsible for overseeing and filing records of patents in the United States. I made this vocabulary word at $100 because I felt that it is easy to answer. Another statement I came up with for a $300 slot for Patent and Trademark depository libraries is, a public building where copies of patents and reference tools are available to research. I felt this one was a bit more difficult so I put it at a higher cost. I haven’t done the other categories yet but I will be developing them just like these. Since we are going to be in groups I don’t want to make it too hard for my teammates to answer so I will have to find ways to shorten long definitions into a short sentence.
