Instructional Ideas
  • Hand out the questions as they are, add them to another class or homework assignment, or use them to inspire a longer written assignment
Classroom Considerations
  • Note that the instructions on the page are for teachers rather than students; use the included worksheet (found in the materials section) for a student-facing resource
  • The formatting on these pages is not the most beautiful, but the content is decent
  • Some of the questions are a stretch for the category of Bloom's they are paired with
Pros
  • Questions will encourage higher-level thinking

Cons
  • There is a typo in the instructions; it says listen instead of listed
