For my eighteenth PLN I read an article titled "I'm taking a stand!" by LGaffney on her personal blog. Her post mainly talks about how when she assignees reading assignments to her class some of her students struggle on the quizzes even though they read the book.
My Comment:
Some pretty interesting stuff you bring up in your blog. I definitely agree with some of the things you noticed and talked about in your post. First off I want to start by saying that I myself am a high school student and although I do usually read the chapters that we are assigned in class I do still struggle to answer all of the questions on the quiz correctly. There always seems to be that one or two questions that just slip my mind when we are taking the quiz over each chapter, or sometimes I just do not pick something up that the quiz is asking. I think maybe instead of giving quizzes to each individual person maybe give a partner quiz or a group quiz. Or instead of giving a quiz at all teachers could give a group project, that way you can tell if they read the book as well as add some creativity to their work and the students that did in fact read the book won’t be punished or have their grade lowered just because they forgot a question.
