Knockout+Challenge

**Here’s how to play:** 1) Get with your team and decide who will be submitting your completed task for each round. Have that person register for the game by shooting an email to penguinvskangaroo@gmail.com with the message “TEAM NAME HERE is stepping into the Ning” in the subject line. And your Community, Team Name and Team Member’s names in the body of the message.

2) For each round follow the guidelines provided and get in your corner. Jab at your Action Research Project in an aggressive way. Feel free to think outside the box. Remember, your Heavyweight AR Project stays the same but the way you approach it in the ring will be different each round. The list of tasks for each round can be found below. Each Round will have a due date that corresponds chronologically to each of the Culminating Events. (The materials are due for everyone for that round no matter what community you are apart of or when your culminating event happens)

3) Complete the task to knockout your opponent, your Heavyweight Action Research Project, and submit the requested material to __**penguinvskangaroo@gmail.com**__, with the subject line containing your team name and the round number. (example: Team The Grizzly Game: Round 2)

4) Every time you last a round and submit your knockout material your team is entered into the iPad 3 drawing. The more knockouts, the more entries, and the better chances someone on your team has of winning the iPad 3.

5) Following the end of all culminating events (and the final 6th round), on May 25th we’ll draw a random winning team from all the knockout submissions and then draw from all the members of that team for the winner of an iPad 3  **ROUNDS:**  **Due on April 25th Round 1:** The Slideshow Sucker Punch: Create a hard hitting slide (or brief slide show) about your Action Research Project to take down your Heavyweight.  **Due on May 3rd Round 2:** Instant Replay: As a team, create a brief video trailer discussing your AR Project.  **Due on May 7th Round 3:** Step into the Ning: Start a discussion in the PLP Community Hub about your Heavyweight Action Research Project.
