A reading comprehension activity, or informational text, with comprehension and grammar questions followed by an extension task about famous American artist, Jackson Pollock. The Google Forms activity is ideal for distance learning and perfect for students in Year 5 or Year 6 learning about art history or famous artists.
This activity is an online resource, that uses Google Forms, and is linked to your Google Drive. It can be completed by students online using tablets, phones or computers, and is easily assessed by teachers as all the answers are provided in a quick and easy format.
The resource also comes in a PDF format, which can be printed.
Time allowance to complete:
5-10 minutes - read through the text individually.
40-50 minutes - answer questions using the text as guidance (including extension activity)
Time allowance to assess:
A class set of activities might take around 15-20 minutes to mark; the teacher can then send the students their marks automatically, which allows them to read back through their work. Nearly all answers are not automatically generated, but only require a small amount of work to assign points. This is because the aim is to get students writing answers and not to just have multiple choice options.
