Changing KS3 Questions for Engaging Assessment
About. A set of exemplar resources ready for use on a classroom whiteboard or on screen. Each resource includes two PowerPoint slides, the first is for the teacher to view before the lesson. It shows a question; its level; the topics it covers and suggestions for changes that might be made. The second (and more) shows the question for the students. This large collection of questions can be used as lesson-starter activities or can run for a full lesson.
Pedagogical content. Test questions are often seen as uninteresting and useful only to assess pupils summatively. This resource however allows questioning(ta) to be used to support pupils’ revision, creativity and higher order(ta) problem-solving in class. The tasks could be conducted via whole class(ta) discussion(ta) or assessment(ta), perhaps using mini-whiteboards(tool), or in small group work(ta) situations. (edit)
