Sunken Millions for People in our Past

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

This multiple choice review covers famous historical figures from all walks of life.  each slide has a scoring set up in the corner which assumes two teams and allows for hints and lifelines etc. but it is not clear how to use this section of the powerpoint.  The four questions are clearly presnted and there are some fun noises and animated transitions.  If an incorrect answer is selected bubbles appear, but if the canswer is correct the PowerPoint will proceed.
