Suggested Teaching & Learning Activity
Writing Trivia Questions
- After reading The Farm on the Sea, have students use information they had learned from the text to compose trivia questions. Students then can pose these questions to their peers as part of a whole class challenge. Use the online activity below to model possible questions and formatting and the offline resource can be printed so that students can complete their good copies.
- Provide opportunities for students to present/ publish their work. The importance of revising and editing becomes more real to students when they are able to share their work with others. Send us your completed trivia questions and we'll publish them on our social media channels.
