Description

The purpose of these content quizzes is as a homework or notes check. Students often copy reading guides or do not pay attention to video notes but will pay more attention when they have a quiz.

I use these questions by assigning about 10 pages/1-2 sections/1 module of reading along with supplemental videos on Edpuzzle as homework. Students take a content quiz during the first few minutes of class. My quizzes are open note/open book, but timed at 30 seconds per question as I do not expect students to memorize information the first time they read or hear it so they can reference notes/books as needed, but the timer prevents kids from “winging it” and not reading or doing notes.

I typically cover several topics in a quiz so I will take the best questions from each topic and combine them into a 12-15 question quiz, but you can use them as-is below. Some topics have 10+ questions while others are shorter. There are a total of 93 questions for this unit.

These are DOK1 and DOK2 questions that only check for content. Use AP® Classroom questions for higher level questions to train students how to use the content in skill questions. AP® Classroom does not provide enough questions per topic for basic content quizzes which is why I created this product.

You are welcome to edit for your own classes, but do NOT upload to the internet or as a document or PDF on an LMS (learning management system) as students often download documents and answer keys and upload to cheating sites such as Course Hero.
