One of the books Danza assigned was "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, and he decided to get creative with the review before the exam, having the students complete a scavenger hunt all over the school which involved them locating items like hamsters representing the mice in the book and activities such as "Name that Character" from quotes and personality clues. "I've never seen these kids so energized by a class," he wrote. "As I hand each team their closed bag of equipment, they taunt each other... 'I got this one. The rest of you losers might as well quit now.'" Almost everyone in the class passed the exam.
