Test Review

One way I have used to help students review for tests is to have students create their own test questions. Today I broke students into 3 small groups and had them create questions for the test. I use the questions they come up with to review and the best questions are put on the test. It gives them a different way of studying the material and makes the study session have more purpose.

  1. I once had a teacher who used this strategy often. It has so many positive benefits. Students have to use higher level thinking to come up with the questions, it gets them engaged, and they feel like they have contributed to their own learning experience. They also tend to ask more difficult questions than I would!
