Kahoot is a fantastic resource teachers can use to engage their students, and test their understanding of
content material in a fun way. Kahoot allows students to utilize their phones or other electronic devices to
answer questions related to the lesson, as well as compete against their classmates for points. This same
Kahoot quiz can be translated into multiple languages so that ELL students can participate as well.
Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity.
Prior to this SRT activity students will be introduced to the lesson on communicable diseases. The information
they learn from this lesson will aid them in answering all questions located on the Kahoot. This Kahoot quiz
would be great to use at the end of the lesson to test students understanding, at the begging of the following
lesson to test students’ memory, or before a test to help refresh students on communicable disease
information.
Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
☒ Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☐ To illuminate common
misconceptions ☒ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☐ Summative assessment of content knowledge ☒ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☐ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity:

The students will log into Kahoot using an electronic device with access to Wi-Fi, and put in the specific code
for the communicable diseases quiz. Students will work independently to answer all the questions on the quiz
as accurately and quickly as possible. This activity should take no longer than 10 minutes.
