Describe the instructional activities that will occur prior to the SRS activity and how you will
introduce the SRS activity: Before the SRS activities, I will find a short, age appropriate video or book
about the historical American figures to gain student interest. Then, I will explain that each student will be
taking an 8 question multiple choice quiz to assess their knowledge on the famous historical Americans.
Describe the purpose of the SRS activity (check all that apply):
Assess Prior Knowledge Anticipatory Set (Create Interest in a Topic) To Illuminate Common
Misconceptions Formative Assessment of Content Knowledge (for purposes of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) Summative Assessment of Content Knowledge Test Preparation

Type of session: Teacher-Paced Student-Paced

Identification of students:
Students will log-in so their individual scores will be available to you after the session
SRS activity will be anonymous
Briefly describe what will happen during the SRS activity
For this activity, I used the tool Socrative to create a multiple choice test. Students have 8 questions to
answer. They will have 3 responses to choose from but only one answer will be correct. The teacher will be
able to assist students if she sees students struggling with the assignment without answering the questions
for them. The materials needed for this assignment is computer access with reliable Wi-Fi. This assignment
shouldnt take students longer than 20 minutes.

Types of questions/prompts (Check all that apply):
Multiple choice Multiple Select True/False Yes/No Short open-ended response
or fill in the blank Longer open-ended response
Provide samples of questions/prompts to be given to students:
Who authored the Declaration of Independence?
Who is famous for his experiments with electricity?
Who are known for their advancements with exploration?
Who is known for his involvement with the national parks?

Right/Wrong Answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions? Yes No

Mixed (Some will have correct answers, others will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback:
Will you pre-select correct answers to some or all of the questions and display correct response to the class
after the SRS activity? Yes No
Why or why not? I will do this because I feel like its important for students to know the correct answer to
incorrect responses so they can learn from it and be more knowledgeable in the future.
Use of data: This assignment could be used as a Pre-Test to assess student knowledge before introducing
the main lesson to students. Doing so could be beneficial to the classroom because having this information
allows the teacher to know what content her students have grasped and what they need work on in the
future.

Describe what will occur after the SRS activity: After completing the SRS activity, students will do
research from approved sources about the 6 historical figures that we have talked about and write down 1 or
2 facts about them. Afterwards, they will share their findings with the class.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.
I created a Socrative multiple choice test for students to take. I havent used this tool before so I feel like it
was a fun and new learning experience from me. Im really looking forward to implementing this tool into
my classroom and seeing how students will respond to it.
