History Madness Tournament 

In our class we are teaching with tournaments which is known as history madness.   The size of our tournament is determined by the number of students that are in the class.  Each tournament will have a different topic.  For example, Who is the most important person in U.S. History?   Students will either draft or be given their person, event, or time period.  Then the class will have a tournament bracket.  You will create a 2-3 minute presentation describing why your person, event, or time period is the most important in United States History (depending on the topic).  These presentations can be presented however you want as long as it has a visual. The game will consist of two people presenting separately about why their person is the most important in United States history.  Then the class will vote on our weebly site as to whom their peers feel was the most important based on the presentations for that day.  Students must have their netbooks to vote and be present on that game day.  If you win a game and move on in the tournament, you cannot use any of the information that was used in the previous rounds.  There is a chance that one person could have as many as five games total depending on how many students are in the class.  Every game has to have different information.
