Friday, 5/28/10 - Back in the classroom. Finally!
A break from research!

PreYEE in groups. First Official Attempt will be Tuesday.

Scrabble Practice Round.

  • Each person draws a letter. The letter closest to A (Blank beats A) goes first.
  • Draw continues clockwise (to the left) after that.
  • If no one volunteers, the person with the letter farthest from A is scorekeeper.
  • Put those letters back and draw seven (7) each.
  • Keep score like this (don't write what's in the parentheses):
    • Jimmy (First Player)
    17 (first turn)
    6  (second turn)
    23 (total so far)
    14 (third turn)
    37 (total so far)    		 Johnny (Second Player)
    23
    15
    38
    7
    45
  • First player must put the word down with a letter on the Star in the middle.
  • Left to right, top to bottom; not diagonal, not bottom to top!
  • Suggestion: no more than 2-3 minutes per person.
  • NO! NO! NO! (Check the dictionary.)
    • Multiplier squares are one use only!
