8. Task Cards
My room is not set up to put all the students in a circle, so we go in the hallway to do this
activity. I have the students bring their blank answer form into the hallway with a pencil.
I usually make them sit boy/girl/boy to keep them better behaved. I pass out the cards in
then number 2 next and so on. I stand in the middle of the circle and hold a bell. I tell the
students to all answer their card and quietly hold it up in front of their face when they are
next person. I watch them and ring the bell when I notice they are ready. They all answer the
next card and pass it on only when the bell sounds. At the end of the activity, we go back
in the room and I put up the answer key on the overhead. They check and grade them. I call
out card numbers and if anyone missed a question, I read it in class and we discuss it. I call
on someone who got it right to explain it. I LOVE task card activities. It is a great way to
check for understanding before the test. I have found that my students do much better on
the test after going through this activity. They like doing them, too. Another option is use
them as a station or in pairs.
Another option is to put each card under the projector, one at a time. The students answer
each question and grade and turn in their answer sheets.
