As students explore the Daily Questions, they are prompted to send in a multiple-choice question about something they learned along with the answer and the address of any Web sites where they found the information. Our moderators enter the best questions into our quiz database. The Kids' Quiz is randomly generated from the bank of questions, which creates a different quiz with each new visit.
Students can take the quiz anytime during the week to see how much they've learned about the topic.
For more information about the Kids' Quiz, see the frequently asked questions in the Help section. Look to see that students have grasped the main points of the Daily Question. This form of pre-assessment will help you and your students gauge what they already know about the topic and might help spark interest in finding out more. As students take the randomly generated quiz, encourage them to share questions and collaborate to select from among the multiple-choice options displayed. This kind of collaboration will build cooperative learning skills and enable students to internalize what they've learned about the topic by communicating it to others.
