The Jos Post-Gameplay Quiz: October 2 Defusing the Drama
A Day in the Life of the Jos is accompanied by a series of mini-quizzes (one for each day in the game) that can be completed once students have finished a particular day. Each quiz includes five multiple choice questions that should take only a few minutes to complete.
The quiz can be found by accessing the link in The Jos Quiz: October 2 Defusing the Drama chapter of the student material. If you would like students to submit their scores, they will need to export a copy of their work to send you a copy.
As with the choices in the game itself, some answers to the questions in the quizzes are better than others. Below are the best possible answers to each of the questions.
