Introduction

LessonUp is an all-in-one teacher toolkit that allows you to create complete lessons, use and edit lessons created by other teachers, and deliver interactive lessons in the classroom or remotely. Save time, increase student engagement, and monitor pupil progress in a secure, centralised online teaching platform.

Instructions

To save these slides and add them to a lesson, create a free account.

This learning technique implies the use of clusters of five true/false quiz questions related to one topic. Students are provided with 5 questions/statements /facts concerning a subject. They have to decide whether the notions are true or false. 

Once the assignment is concluded, the goal is that at least three true/false statements are correct. This is an arbitrary number of course, but it adds an appealing element of playfulness to the challenge. Once concluded, discuss the questions/statements /facts with your students. This will clarify misconceptions and reinforce the learning process.

How do you implement it?

Creating quizzes in LessonUp is a straightforward process that you can learn in no time. Once your students have placed their choices, you can immediately review their answers, and provide them with real-time feedback both in person and/or digitally. The results of all the quizzes will automatically be saved in your students’ reports. 

How does it work in the class?

You can implement 5 about 1 during all lesson phases: as a lesson starter, to revise with your students in preparation for a test, or as part of a formative assessment. Make it as complex and as challenging as you prefer. Apply it to any possible subject matters, level of instruction, or class.
