Teacher Info - Lesson 4
How to use this resource:
This module contains 2 activities – the test and a homework element. Please read the step-by-step instructions provided for each activity before getting started. Worksheets are required for the homework activity and a pdf version of the quiz is available should students not have devices to complete this quiz individually online. There is also a Webwise Certificate included here which can be printed and presented to each student on completion of homework activity and passing the test. You can access these by clicking on the Print Sheets button found within the individual activity information sections above.
The assessment is embedded in an online quiz. The assessment is embedded in an interactive quiz in which pupils are given 10 multiple-choice questions and must give 5 correct answers in order to pass the test. If you prefer to use a paper based assessment, a ten question multi-choice test sheet is provided. Pupils that successfully pass the test can be given a Webwise certificate to take home. The certificate details the skills that the pupils have attained; we feel that this is a good way of keeping parents informed on what their children are learning in class.
