Quizzing Teams

readingspeakingwritingcommunicationaccuracyreviewsmall-grouplow prep20-30 minTBLT

Teams write tough questions about a text and challenge the opposing team.

Procedure

  1. Divide class into two teams.
  2. Each team gets the same text (or different halves).
  3. Teams write 5-8 challenging questions about the text.
  4. Teams alternate asking questions; points for correct answers.
  5. Discuss any disputed answers with text evidence.

Tips

  • Encourage questions that require inference, not just surface recall.
  • "Why did the author..." beats "What colour was..."
