Reading Counts Quiz Challenge

Have you ever taken your reading log, went to the lab, logged on to Reading Counts, only to find you cannot find a quiz on any of the books you have been reading this year? It's frustrating! Well, we are now going to do something about it. For the next two weeks, we are going to have a Reading Counts quiz challenge. The challenge is that you need to make a 10 question, multiple choice quiz over any books from your reading log. Here's what you will need to include: the name of the book, the author's name, 10 multiple choice questions with 4 possible answers, and star the correct answer. It is very important that you really ask good questions about the book. Try to think like a teacher and ask questions about the main character, their family, the problem, the climax, the solution. You can also ask questions about the setting and other characters in the book. Make sure that you spell all names correctly.

The class with the most use able quizzes made in the next two weeks will receive a class reward that we will decide on together. Make sure to put your name on your quiz and check Reading Counts to make sure there is not a quiz already in there. Please turn all quizzes into me personally.

  1. I'm making some tests about books for Reading Counts, I think it's really fun making them. Because you can make up your own questions, but it doesn't have to be a certain book, so the challenge doesn't have to be boring. It can be really creative, I know your thinking that you can't get creative questions from a boring book. But did you think that you could make the questions more challenging and creative than from a boring book? Well you can. Well for me when I have really good questions it's because I'm reading a really good book. So I can use those questions on my test. That's why I think making tests for Reading Counts is really fun.
