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:

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 difficulty an

THUG, or on literary choices for English B HL

It has always been a challenge to choose a set book for English B HL, as the choice is overwhelming and the factors to be taken into consideration numerous. The perfect fit will be a book that is relevant and relatable, as well as interesting and of literary value- a rare find indeed, and all the adjectives used to describe it  are very subjective and depend on the students' and teachers' taste to a great extent.  So far with my HL students I have used Lord of the Flies, The Help, the Handmaid's Tale, the Giver, Of Mice and Men, Great Gatsby, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, the Room .....Some of them were quite a success, some a bit of a disappointment for a reason-  at a point I realized I just need a change.  This year I decided to try out something more up-to-date and went for The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I prepared a unit planner with activities that worked well for me and my students, maybe you will find it useful, too? THUG UNIT PLANNER 1. Conte
