Short Who Wants to be a Millionaire starter quiz covering basics of A Linha Curva with an answer sheet. Questions can be edited. To add more questions copy and paste both a question and answer page and edit on those slides to keep the sound effects on each slide.
Best printed and laminated for use during performances and evaluation lessons. On one side is a basic word bank for students to choose from (to avoid them repeating the same thing that each group did well or need to improve), and on the other are sentence starters and connectives to develop vocabulary and use of full sentences when evaluating performances in class. Once the students get used to using them I found that performance feedback was much quicker and more valuable.
I also have a drama one in my shop.
Great quiz template all set up with the Who Wants to be a Millionaire sound effects. Perfect for starters and plenaries. I have found it has been enjoyed from Year 7 up to Year 13
