I know your all thinking about it. We gotta prepare for the tests coming up. So I have heard that there is this fabulous school called 6th Street Prep that uses a system with proving and disproving. They use standards based multiple choice questions and have the kids practice proving and disproving. In addition, the highest scoring teacher at my site trains her kids to prove every answer they put down on the CST... We are talking all 70!
So what if all us WBT folks start implementing this? I think it would be easy enough to put into mind soccer and your average teach/okay. I think I am going to get some released items from our state test and choose the two best answers (to make it shorter on time). In mind soccer, the first team can answer the question, then prove the right answer, and disprove the wrong answer. This is like three soccer kicks in one turn and might amp up the mind soccer game.
Any ideas or contributions???

Let me know how this works for you. I am a firm believer in proving and disproving! My only question is how this will affect Mind Soccer motivation? It's such a fast paced game, so I'm just having some trouble seeing how this won't slow it down or ruin the fun part of it. I'm not trying to be a neigh-sayer though!!! If it works for your class, let me know and give me some examples of what you do so I know how to do it, too. PLEASE!!!! Bueno Suerte!
