Given the flexible and accessible nature of an EduProtocol like the Fast and the Curious, it pairs particularly well with a learning platform like Quizizz.

• Choose one online quiz site like Quizizz to use repeatedly, at least for the 9 weeks so students do not have to learn a new quiz game every time they play.
• Stick with 8-12 questions to keep the game moving quickly.
• Allow students to play asynchronously for practice at home.

How Does it Work?

Step 1: Decide what content you want students to master and create quiz in Quizizz. Step 2: On the first round, students complete quiz individually without pre-teaching of words or concepts. Step 3: After students complete the first round quiz, teacher gives immediate feedback by reviewing questions and answers through a brief mini-lesson. Students record their score. Step 4: Students immediately complete the same quiz for a second round. Tip: Randomize the questions and the response choices for the second round. Step 5: Repeat rounds throughout the week so students can improve accuracy.

This process encourages students to take ownership of their learning, and celebrate their achievements..
