Those dreaded expectations. They're important to address, review, and discuss but there's not a fun way to do it. Until now!
I decided to revamp going over class expectations with the help of Kahoot and memes. I created a Kahoot with questions about all my expectations and added funny memes to reinforce each expectation. Students played Kahoot with little knowledge about my classroom expectations and had to use common sense, critical thinking, and memes to help them choose the answer that was most appropriate. After each answer appeared I briefly discussed each expectation and cleared up any confusion. By providing wrong answer choices that seemed logical (to the students) I was also able to address those ever popular "what not to do scenarios."
Not only did the students have fun, learn a lot, and beg for more, I now have an already-created way to address expectations in the future. If changes come up I can simply edit my game and review with my students as needed.
