[ISLMA-Share] Rebecca Caudill 2017 - quiz and answer key availability....to see if students read the book

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I quiz--very informally!  They have to answer 3 questions from a list.  I
ask randomly (not the first 3--questions tend to go in chronological order
through the book)--if they don't know one and I can prompt for an answer I
do.  Otherwise I'll just give them another question.  I figure 3 facts
tells me they read the book.  The questions are NOT all mine.  Some are,
some I found online and edited. If I give them 10 questions and they can't
answer any I tell them they better re-read the book!  I print the quizzes
and keep them alphabetical in a binder.  They are shared below

Happy quizzing,
Connie
