A 35-question quiz on looking at adverbs that can be used when writing speech to describe better describe how someone is speaking. Ideal plenary activity / easy assessment activity.
The quiz is simply structured with 4 rounds. The first 3 rounds have 10 questions and the final round has 5 questions. The total of 35 questions is designed so that in an average class of 30 students, every student can answer at least one question. Each round is slightly different to target different ways of thinking and maximise the applicability of the quiz beyond the lesson to everyday circumstances and further writing. Each round is structured as follows:
- Multi-choice questions on adverbs to describe specific speech-related verbs such as “yelled” “whispered” “announced” etc.
- Multi-choice questions on adverbs that are appropriate for certain circumstances where someone may be speaking for example delivering a presentation, ordering in a restaurant etc. These questions are structured as “odd one out” to add some variety.
- Multi=choice questions on adverbs that relate to how a person’s feelings can affect how they speak for example, how someone may speak when they feel unwell, or feel happy or feel sad etc.
- Multi-choice questions focused on application to sentences.
The multiple-choice element helps the quiz to remain accessible to a wider range of abilities. Finishing with a sentence based round helps ensure the quiz is applicable to wider English / literacy lessons. All questions aim to cover common scenarios and common speech verbs to ensure the quiz is applicable to further writing and the wider curriculum, and is relatable to the students. Answers are included at the end of each round so students can self assess / peer mark their quizzes.
Colour and simple animations are used throughout to keep the quiz aesthetically engaging.
The quiz would work well in conjunction with the lesson on “using adverbs in speech writing" and “using adverbs in speech writing" worksheet pack, also available by this author. This is not necessary, however. The quiz will work well as a standalone resource.
