Universal Design for Learning (UDL): For my ELL and ESOL students, this activity will be a great way for them
to add to their vocabulary by introducing terms that are included in the “Branches of Government” lesson.
Kahoot! allows you to print the quizzes out, which could overall benefit these students. Students can take
these quizzes home and go over them with their family. Family members can help translate the new
vocabulary words to them in an effort to practice the material. This helpful resource is especially useful when
some students are sick and cannot attend class. These students could be instructed to log onto the computer
at home and take the quiz. This way, they are still caught up with what the rest of the class is doing when they
return.
This quiz will be used to wrap up the lesson. This way, everything that we do prior to this quiz in class will
involve either games, videos, or activities. Each activity that we complete will add on each student’s
knowledge of the topic and will overall help them be successful when discussing branches of government. To
introduce this activity to students, I will show them a BrainPop video that describes the branches of
government, the people in each branch, and their duties that go along with the job. I will pause the video
periodically to make sure they are paying attention and comprehending the information. Once the video is
finished, I will pull up the Kahoot! game and instruct my students to get an iPad out. After entering the game
code of the Kahoot! I created, students will compete against each other in a formative assessment.

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity: This activity contains a total of 10 multiple
choice questions that students will answer using the iPads available to them in the classroom. The teacher
pulls up the quiz code that students will enter in order to partake in the quiz activity. I have set each question
to count down from 20 seconds, so students have that much time to answer the question. Students love
Kahoot! because although it is considered and quiz (formative assessment), depending on how quickly a
student answers the question, or how many questions they have answered correctly, Kahoot! gives each
student a racecar that keeps moving towards the finish line after answering each question. I like to call
Kahoot! a “quiz game” because students find it so fun to be able to compete against one another, it doesn’t
feel like they are taking a quiz.
Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):

Reflective Practice: This SRT activity will allow students to detect their misconceptions quickly and make a
mental note of the correct answer if they answered incorrectly. To further enhance this activity, students
could then create a short PowerPoint describing the information that they just learned, including images,
facts, names, etc.
