Summer Holiday World Geography Quiz Teacher Notes
From Yacapaca wiki
These quizzes will be most useful to Geography teachers, but have been designed with the intention that anyone could set them as a fun and informative general knowledge quiz in the run-up to the Summer holidays.
As with previous assessments, each of the three quizzes is available with either a 5 minute question timer for those who want their students to research the questions as they go, or with a 15 second timer for students who have already done preparatory work. Students may wish to use the searchable online encyclopaedia wikipedia to research answers. In both quizzes, speedy students can move on more quickly by clicking the timer bar.
Suggested Lesson Plan
Whilst they are taking each quiz (probably with the longer time limit), allow your students access to wikipedia so that they can find the answers they need as they go along. To encourage efficient research, the first person to finish with 90% or more could win a prize. If they score well on the easy quiz, set them the difficult and then the fiendish ones.
