It's getting easier! I built a whole 2 page quiz for my Spanish Adverb "lesson" in 20 minutes. It's all about leveraging what you already have to build what you need next. Why waste time when you can leverage it?
What does leveraging mean when it comes to teaching paperwork? Using what you've already built to create your quizzes and tests. In the case of the adverb quiz, I used the worksheet and the initial guide that I built to build my quiz. After all, if I wanted my students to learn the items on the guide in the first place, and I gave them a homework assignment with other items to work through, it would lead one to believe that those items hold importance. Therefore, it would behoove me to leverage the already existing work to build the framework for the items on the quiz. And that's exactly what I did. I told the original guide and worksheet, switched around a few of the words, selected new words, added or reduced a few of the sections to hone in on the important items, and VOILA! Quiz!
Takeaway? Leverage your time. Success is not begotten merely by effort, but rather by those who make the most of their efforts. Thus, it is vital to leverage.
And just in time for those of you who need to build material for the new school year! Cheers!
