7.2 Collaborative Quiz

Assignment 7.2: Collaborative Quiz

Teacher Instructions: You can facilitate this activity in any number of ways. Some suggestions require advanced preparation of materials.  **The quiz can be done a number of ways.  Consider what works best for your students and best way for them to share their work.**

1. Collaborative Quiz with Whiteboards: Teachers will need access to mini dry erase boards or panels.

Instructions: Gather in groups of four and together complete the Collaborative Quiz. After reading each question, the group comes to a consensus and writes their answer on their board. All groups share their boards and receive points for correct answers.  

2. Collaborative Quiz using Epstein: Teachers will need to visit Epstein Education at http://www.epsteineducation.com to order answer forms prior to the lesson. The form number is Form #0011.

Instructions: Gather in groups of four and together complete the Collaborative Quiz utilizing the “Immediate Feedback Assessment Technique”. After reading each question, the group comes to a consensus for an answer. When a consensus has been reached, scratch off A, B, C, or D. If a star is exposed after the first scratch your group is awarded 4 points, every time an answer is scratched off and a star is not revealed a point is subtracted from 4. Continue for all 10 questions, a total of 40 points is possible. 

3. Collaborative Quiz for Small Group: For smaller classes, the teacher can rotate between groups to provide feedback as small groups work through the quiz.

Instructions: Follow the same instructions as for the Epstein version, except instead of scratching off answer choices, the teacher will provide oral feedback to each group as they make their selections.
