☒ Yes ☐ No
☐ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions and

☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not?

Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?

We will discuss the answers, especially the ones a lot of students missed.
How will the data be used?
The data from this assessment will be used to monitor how much students know. It can be given as a
formative assessment and even as a post assessment. The students scores can be compared to see how much
more they know after the whole unit is taught. The data will mostly be private, and the answers will be
reviewed with the class. If a lot of students struggle with a question the teacher can reteach.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity.
I have never made a Kahoot before and so learned how to by making this one. I hope the students learn more
about Native Americans as well as test taking techniques like eliminating choices that are wrong.
Reflective Practice:
This lesson helps students review what they have learned. It also helps me to know what they understand and
still need to go over. This lesson could also be reviewed with other technology products like Socrative or
quizlet quizzes. This could also be done as a team activity to have more group centered activities.
