New, personalised AI- generated question maker: enter Anti-Quiz Maker by ELTcation

 


Personalisation is one of the holy graals of teaching, and rightly so, as tasks and content that a student can relate to are a real boost to the effectiveness of the process. 


In the era of AI tools, it is definitely easier to create and adapt materials  to give them a personal touch, especially with the new kid on the block- Anti-Quiz Maker:) 

ELTcation Anti-Quiz Maker

Unlike standard comprehension quizzes that evaluate students' grasp of a text, this tool creates personalized prompts that inspire students to relate to their own experiences, reflect, and produce creative responses. 


Simply choose and paste your language material and indicate the age group and proficiency level of your students. 


The tool works with any text-based material – such as reading passages, transcriptions of audio or video clips, vocabulary lists, or grammar structures – and generates four distinct types of personalized exploration. 


Look what it did with the text on Values from Oxford English B book:

SPEECH STATIONS

I have been looking for a way to spice up a bit the class I give in DP1 as introduction to speeches- both oral and written (paper 1). Then it dawned on me- why not get the students move and learn about the structure, language, rhetorical appeals rotating the stations in pairs?  I tried and it worked very well- have a look at   the stations  and the sample answers:) . The class is designed for 5 stations, but there is also an optional one on extra linguistic features- I’ve put them in my google disc as pdfs, but you can also create QR codes for them so that you don’t need to print the activities.  As for the class itself, you can ask students to compete against each other in their pairs, and check their worksheets yourself, or allow them accces to the sample key to encourage self-assessment or peer-assessment.  What needs to be done at the end is a wrap-up session on the text type that speech is- one idea might be ask students to elaborate on the titles of each s...

a Canva lesson on 'cancel culture'

  I have recently watched an excellent series entitled 'Douglas is cancelled' (I can really recommend this SkyShowtime production),  and it inspired me to plan a lesson on the phenomenon of 'cancel culture'. I ended up preparing a Canva presentation with links to a New York Post article, together with vocabulary work and open questions, as well as a set of listening comprehension and discussion questions based on a CBSN video exploring the question if cancel culture has gone too far maybe. You can find the presentation  here - a cherry on top is 2 paper 1 mock questions- hope you like it!  (key and lesson ideas in the presentation notes)

Bloom’s balls!

​ You might think in a secondary classroom there is no room for such ‚primary school crafts’, which require the actual, not digital (!) cutting and pasting. Wrong! Students of all ages and levels should be encouraged to get creative and use all their senses and body to construct knowledge:) It is useful and fun:)  My students recently applied and practised lower and higher order thinking skills described by Bloom in his taxonomy (LOTs and HOTs).  The ‘Bloom’s Balls they created was a project to wrap up our reading of ‘The Giver’ by Luis Lowry (highly recommended for teenage groups, btw!). The students were given a selection of tasks labelled with the six tiers of Bloom’s taxonomy, and a template with pentagons to cut and paste:) You can find the template below- it is a picture, you might want to manipulate with its size to fit the page:)  Their job was to choose 2 tasks from each category, and complete them on their ‚ball’. The tasks were diverse, with different levels of...
