This is the latest quiz that I have used with the students in my House – a little bit of fun for the last Tuesday of the month!
I know that when I go to Sainsbury’s they are a bit more expensive than their rivals. So what really annoys me? On a few products dotted around Sainsbury’s they advertise that the item is the same price as in Tesco. What do I infer from this piece of promotion? That everything else in the shop is more expensive!
These signs just remind me that I should buy everything else from Tesco.
Not an exemplar piece of promotion.
It can be sometimes time-consuming to come up with little activities for your tutor group. Every month I set a simple 10 question quiz that Year 7-13 students do during their 15 minute tutorial. Scores are collated and prizes awarded at the end of the year. The quizzes are designed to be light-hearted and can be used with any year group.
I thought about an insightful look at assessment for learning, a rundown of Web 2.0 or even an outline of the TLA; however the problem of what to address for my first test post was solved as soon as I read this story:
Donkey ride ban for fat children
Has a blog ever kicked off with a more important issue? I didn’t think so either.
